Listing price €90,000 for 160 m² = €562/m²; after a modest renovation estimate (€200/m²) effective cost ≈ €763/m², well above the regional median of €458/m². The text also lists a confusing breakdown (160 m² commerciale, 30 m² magazzino, 30 m² abitazione) which contradicts the stated size and lowers confidence.
More on the house and the area
Beautifully renovated corner property with striking brick-vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and arched stone windows — interiors feel characterful and move-in ready. It's a rare combination of historic detail and modern finishes at a very attractive price, but expect town-centre noise and verify paperwork if part of the space is classified commercial.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- No private garden or obvious outdoor space — sits on a street corner.
- Urban street location may mean noise and limited privacy.
- Listing photos suggest mixed/commercial uses — check zoning/permits for full residential conversion.
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 52/100The cluster lies in the coastal plain and low hills west of Palermo, with the Gulf of Castellammare on this stretch of coast. Monte d'Oro and the first relief of the north-west Sicilian hills rise inland, but this is not a high mountain setting. The nearest town of size is Partinico, which has the normal services of a medium small town; Alcamo and Castellammare del Golfo are also close in daily use. Palermo is the main city for higher-level services and the airport at Punta Raisi is relatively near. This part of western Sicily is known for vineyards, olive groves and citrus cultivation.
