Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (asta) which makes acquisition risky; with an assumed €200/m² refresh (~€40,600) the effective price is about €651/m² versus a local benchmark of €378/m². The listing notes mixed/dated interior finishes and lacks an energy class, so budget and legal due diligence are required.
More on the house and the area
A large, solid mid‑century villa in a semi‑central Sicilian town with a private garden, garage and 203 m² — externally in good order and declared 'abitabile'. The price is a clear bargain for the size, but interiors are dated, only one bathroom is listed and photos of rooms are missing, so expect to budget for internal updates. Good as a liveable family home if you want space and outdoor area near services and the coast, but plan for renovation and the auction process.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Interior finishes are dated and heterogeneous — cosmetic renovation or updating likely required
- Only one bathroom for a large 203 m² house
- Photos provided show mainly the exterior; interior condition is not fully documented
- Sale is by auction (as‑is) — verify legal/title details and access before bidding
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 74/100Mount Etna dominates the area to the west and north-west, with the lower volcanic slopes and lava-built settlements of the Etna foothill belt around Aci Catena. The Ionian coast is nearby at Acitrezza and Aci Castello, with the Riviera dei Ciclopi and the sea stacks of the Isole Ciclopi within about 15 km. The Timpa di Acireale nature reserve is nearby on the coast north of the town. Catania is the nearest large city, with full urban services, a major rail station and the airport. The area is known for its volcanic landscape, citrus cultivation and the Cyclops coast linked to Sicilian myth.
