What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (legal and procedural risk). With an estimated 200€/m² renovation (~28,800€) the effective price is ≈71,360€ (~495€/m²), above the regional median 378€/m², and the ad warns the photos are not the real property.
More on the house and the area
Some photos show attractive, recently‑finished interiors (modern bathroom, polished floors and wall panelling) so the place could be a charming, habitable home. However the image set is inconsistent and likely not all of the same property — you must verify real photos, rooms and services before assuming this is the livable villa pictured.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €16,000
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.
- The listing itself says the images are indicative and the photos in the gallery are inconsistent — they may not be of this property.
- Interior photos show high‑quality finishes but are mixed with unrelated images (urban facade, different room styles) — verify real photos/planimetry before visiting.
- The ad is for an auction — check legal status and purchase process before bidding.
- No clear garden, view or historic character is shown; the listing also reports 0 baths on the sheet, so confirm actual services.
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 68/100The area is in the Erei mountains of central-northern Sicily, with a high hill landscape of grain fields, pasture and wooded slopes. The Salso valley lies below the town and the Nebrodi range begins to the north, with the southern edge of the Parco dei Nebrodi within this radius. The nearest skiing is at Piano Battaglia in the Madonie, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes by road, which is outside the local landscape. Nicosia itself is the main town nearby, with a large historic center, cathedral, hospital and everyday services for the surrounding inland area. The area is known for inland Sicilian hill country, cereals, livestock and mountain cheeses.
