This is an auction listing and the ad itself warns photos/plan may be repertory. I estimate renovation ≈€700/m² (≈€90,300) so effective price ≈€147,850 → ≈€1,146/m² versus local median €450/m², making it a high‑risk, auction-only opportunity.
More on the house and the area
Small single‑storey house with garage, cisterna and a fenced plot planted with vines/prickly‑pear — a humble but attractive land setting near Etna. Roof and exterior look intact but the listing notes poor condition, so this is a realistic renovation bargain rather than a turnkey home.
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€25,000 – €45,000
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.
- Advertisement and description state the property is 'in condizioni scadenti' — significant renovation likely required
- Only exterior photos provided — interior condition, systems and layout are uncertain
- Sold at auction — verify legal/title/utility status and auction costs before bidding
- Property faces a road so privacy/noise should be checked on site
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 78/100Mount Etna is within the 15 km radius, with the southern Etna slopes and lava landscapes immediately above the town. The Monte Gorna and Monti Rossi volcanic cones are nearby on the Etna side. The Parco dell'Etna covers the mountain above the built-up belt. The nearest ski lifts are those on Etna south around Rifugio Sapienza, roughly a 30-40 minute drive depending on road conditions. Catania is the nearest large city and provides the full range of city services, rail links and the main airport for eastern Sicily. The area is known for vineyards, pistachios, orchards and villages built with Etna stone on the volcano's lower slopes.
