See what needs doing and what each job costs
Estimated renovation ~€700/m² → €46,900, so total cost ≈ €101,900 or ≈€1,520/m² versus the regional baseline of €380/m². The property’s 1 km to the sea and 5,800 m² of private land add value, but the effective price is about four times the local median, making it overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A rare combination of a large private 5,800 m² plot with mature pines/olives and clear sea views around 1 km away makes this an attractive coastal-rural retreat. The building is a solid, roofed single-storey structure but sold as a blank slate and needs full renovation — ideal for someone wanting to redesign from scratch. Low price plus generous land is a genuine bargain, though expect to budget for works, permits and utility checks.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 63/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast at the foot of the first Sicani-Madonie uplands, with a working seafront and hills rising immediately inland. The San Leonardo river reaches the sea just east of town. The Madonie range begins inland and its higher slopes are within about 15 km, though the main ski lifts at Piano Battaglia are much farther and do not belong to the immediate landscape. Palermo is the nearest large city and provides the full range of services and transport links. The area is known for its port, thermal history and the coastal gateway position between the Palermo plain and the eastern Tyrrhenian shore of Sicily.
