€65,000 for 60 m² plus an estimated €12,000 (200 €/m²) renovation gives an effective €1,283/m², well above the regional median of €378/m². The house is turnkey with 2,200 m² of land, PV, cistern and many photos, but the effective price per m² makes it expensive versus our Sicilia comparables.
More on the house and the area
A very liveable, move‑in ready country villa with exposed wooden beams, a working fireplace, large paved terraces, private olive garden and a small pool — all at a very attractive price. Strong panoramic setting toward Etna and excellent outdoor space make this an easy dream‑home for someone who wants turnkey rural life in Sicily, though the house is compact and the outdoor amenities are simple.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Only 60 m² with a single bathroom — compact footprint for full‑time living or a family.
- Pool is above‑ground and the outdoor fittings look basic — expect some upgrades for long‑term use.
- Rural setting ~30 km from the sea; access and maintenance of 2,200 m² of land (olives/agrumi) require commitment.
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 61/100The area sits in the inland hills between the Simeto valley and the first rises toward the Erei and Nebrodi systems. The Simeto river basin is the main landscape feature nearby. Mount Etna is a dominant presence to the east, but it is outside the 15 km radius. Catania is the nearest large city in daily reach and provides the full range of services and transport links. Centuripe itself is known for its long ridge-top form and for major archaeological finds from the ancient town.
