Effective price ≈ €1,105/m² (€95,000 + estimated €21,000 renovation at €200/m²) versus regional median ~€380/m², so the effective unit price is far above local norms. The house is habitable, has AC/heating, sea access and good photo coverage, but the high effective €/m² makes this an overpriced listing.
More on the house and the area
Bright, move-in ready coastal townhouse with attractive wood-beamed top-floor kitchen and a private terrace overlooking the sea; interiors are spacious and well kept. Excellent value for a habitable, characterful home near the beach and train station, though the four-level layout and limited outdoor space are practical constraints.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Vertical four-storey layout with many internal stairs — not ideal for mobility issues
- Terrace gives a partial sea view over rooftops and outdoor space is limited
- No garden or private parking; energy efficiency class not provided
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 58/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast at the foot of the first inland hills east of Palermo, with the Gulf of Termini Imerese immediately present. The San Leonardo river reaches the sea here. The Madonie range rises inland to the southeast, but the main massif is mostly beyond the 15 km radius. Termini Imerese is the nearest town of size and has a port, rail station, services and a substantial historic centre. Palermo is the nearest major city for higher-order services and transport, but it is farther west and does not affect the score. The area is known for its coastal position between Palermo and Cefalù and for the thermal history of Termini Imerese.
