Listing price €170,000 (223 m² = €762/m²); add assumed €200/m² renovation → effective ≈ €962/m², well above the regional median €467/m². Property includes a 117 m² dwelling plus a 106 m² magazzino and the description gives no condition details, so the premium over baseline is hard to justify despite being 5 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
Solid, single‑level country house that’s lived‑in and immediately usable, set on private grounds with an olive/fruit plot and a big adjacent warehouse. Rooms are ordinary but functional; the outbuilding and exterior need work to unlock full potential for comfortable rural living close to the sea.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Exterior plaster peeling and needs repainting/maintenance
- Large adjoining magazzino is a rough, unrefurbished space requiring conversion
- Interiors are dated and will need modernization (one small bathroom)
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 cluster is in the built-up area of Marsala, so the lived setting is an urban edge on the low coastal plain of western Sicily. The Stagnone di Marsala lagoon and the salt pans lie within this area, with shallow water, salt basins and the Isola di Mozia in the lagoon. This stretch of coast is part of the Riserva Naturale Orientata Isole dello Stagnone di Marsala. Trapani is the other main town nearby; Marsala itself is a substantial service town with a historic centre, port functions, shops and schools. The area is known for wine production, especially Marsala wine, and for salt extraction landscapes along the coast.
