Listing states the unit is "totally to be renovated" so I estimate €1,100/m² (major restoration): renovation ≈ €165,000 on 150 m², making an effective price ≈ €250,000 (≈€1,666/m²) vs regional baseline €467/m². Proximity to the sea (1 km) and the 1,600 m² land add value, but the very high effective €/m² makes this look overpriced for the market.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roofed two-storey property on a generous 1,600 m² plot near the sea — a real plot-and-house bargain. The building has floors and a mezzanine but is in need of complete renovation and installation of services, so not move-in ready.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €88,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Advertised as 'totally to be renovated' — full refurbishment likely required
- No bathroom shown / 0 baths listed — sanitary installations needed
- Exterior plaster, shutters and finishes are degraded and will need repair
- No sea view visible in photos despite being ~1 km from the coast
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Marsala, so the resident setting is an urban edge on the low coastal plain of western Sicily. The Stagnone lagoon and the Isola di Mozia area lie just north of the town, with shallow saltwater basins and historic salt pans along this stretch of coast. Trapani is the nearest larger centre for wider services and airport access comes from Trapani-Birgi nearby and Palermo farther away. The area is known for salt production and Marsala wine.
