Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing gives no condition; assuming 'habitable' at €200/m² => renovation ≈ €28,000 and an effective price of ≈ €113,000 (≈€807/m²). Large 120 m² terrace and sea-front location add value, but the effective €/m² is ~73% above the regional baseline of €467/m², so this looks overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Spacious, livable family home with lovely original interiors and an enormous 120 m² terrace — rare at this price. Move-in condition but cosmetically dated, so it’s an excellent bargain for someone who wants a ready home with a huge outdoor space to personalise.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Interiors and bathrooms are dated and will need modernisation.
- Large roof terrace is a great asset but may need waterproofing/finishing.
- Urban, central setting — no proven sea view and limited privacy from neighbours.
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 55/100The area is on the Strait of Sicily coast at the mouth of the Mazaro river. The shoreline around Mazara del Vallo is low and urban near town, with sandy stretches and small rocky sections along the coast. The nearest town of size is Marsala to the north, with a historic centre, port and services, while Castelvetrano lies inland toward the Belice plain. The town itself has a substantial historic centre with Arab-Norman street patterns and a fishing port, and it is known for fishing and for the bronze satyr found offshore. The Stagnone lagoon and the salt pans around Marsala are within the wider coastal system to the north, but outside the immediate landscape that would raise the score.
