75,000€ for 105 m² = 714€/m² while the regional median is 380€/m²; estimated renovation 700€/m² (~73,500€) yields an effective ≈1,414€/m², so this is overpriced. The listing omits condition, building year and energy class.
More on the house and the area
A pleasant, usable villa with large tiled terraces, a decorative fountain, palm trees and clear mountain views — a private spot only ~8 km from the sea. The house is lived‑in and structurally complete but dated: mostly move‑inable with sensible cosmetic work, repairs to the outdoor kitchen/terrace and probably an extra bathroom recommended.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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.
- Only one bathroom for a 6‑bedroom villa — may need adding another.
- Outdoor barbecue/oven area and terrace tiles show damage and need cleaning/repair.
- Interiors are dated and will require cosmetic updating (kitchen, floors, finishes).
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 sits on the coastal plain of northern Sicily facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. Punta Raisi (Falcone–Borsellino) Palermo airport is within roughly 15 km and provides scheduled flights and cargo services. The coast nearby includes small beaches, fishing harbours and coastal towns such as Carini, Cinisi and Terrasini. Palermo is the nearest large city and regional hub, reachable by road and rail with hospitals, universities and broader services. The local landscape is primarily agricultural — vineyards, olive groves and citrus cultivation are common in this part of the province. No national or regional park or UNESCO landscape lies within about 15 km; the main interior mountain ranges (Madonie) are farther inland and outside the 15 km radius. There are no ski lifts within the local area.
