At €56,000 for 83 m² with an estimated heavy renovation (~€700/m² → ≈€58k), total cost ≈€114k or ≈€1,375/m², well above the regional typical €467/m²; proximity to the sea (2 km) helps, but the high effective €/m² makes this a weak/overpriced pick.
More on the house and the area
Solid, roofed street‑front property currently fitted out as a retail shop with tiled floors, a bathroom, storage rooms, an unfinished attic and a small roof terrace. It’s structurally usable but not picturesque — significant conversion work is needed to make it a comfortable residential home, though the price is a clear bargain for a liveable building near the sea.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- Former shop — will need conversion/permissions to become a comfortable home (kitchen, bedrooms, insulation).
- Back/storage and attic areas are unfinished and the attic has low sloping ceilings.
- Terrace and front face onto a busy road/overpass so views and privacy are limited.
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 72/100The cluster is on the north coast of Sicily with the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Gulf of Patti immediately nearby. The Peloritani mountains rise inland within a short distance, giving a backdrop of steep ridges above the coastal strip. Tindari and its headland, with the Sanctuary and the archaeological area, are within about 15 km, and the Marinello lagoon and beach system lies below the promontory in the protected area of the Laghetti di Marinello. Milazzo, the nearest larger town, has a substantial historic centre, port connections to the Aeolian Islands, and a castle on its peninsula. This stretch of coast is known for citrus cultivation and for being a gateway toward Tindari, Milazzo and the Aeolian ferry port.
