Listed at €1,560/m² (125 m², €195,000) and even after a modest €200/m² refit (≈€25,000) effective price is ≈€1,760/m², far above the regional median of €441/m²; sea-front location and pool justify a premium but the asking price is significantly higher than comparable stock.
More on the house and the area
Well-kept, move-in-ready corner appartanvilla with a sunny private garden and a large covered patio for outdoor living. Simple, practical interior and direct access to communal pool and courts make this a very liveable seaside home, but it’s a modern complex unit rather than a characterful historic find.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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 sea view though the property is close to the shore
- Ground-floor townhouse in a tight residential complex so privacy is limited
- Shared amenities (pool/tennis) may require upkeep; check condition and condo fees
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 67/100The Peloritani hills rise immediately inland of Rometta, with short steep valleys running down to the Tyrrhenian coast. The Tyrrhenian Sea is at the foot of the area, and this stretch of coast faces the Aeolian Islands on clear days. Rometta sits on the Messina side of the north Sicilian coast, with Milazzo the nearest larger town for everyday services and ferry links, and Messina reachable for the full range of city services and rail connections. This coast is known for citrus, olives and small seaside settlements backed by low mountains.
