What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Assumed ‘needs renovation’ at €700/m² → renovation ≈ €35,000, effective price ≈ €104,000 or €2,080/m², well above the regional baseline of €390/m²; listing does not state the building’s condition, and only 3 photos are provided, so this looks overpriced for the area.
More on the house and the area
Large 9,500 m² plot with a small 50 m² caseggiato that has water and electricity — a real, simple country home rather than a ruin. Great bargain for the land, but the building is basic and needs clearing and some refurbishment to be a comfortable full-time home.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.
- Very small 50 m² dwelling — limited living space
- Looks basic/overgrown and will need clearing and cosmetic work
- Roadside location with limited privacy and no visible sea/mountain view
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 78/100Mount Etna is within the 15 km radius, with the southern Etna slopes and lava landscapes immediately above the town. The Monte Gorna and Monti Rossi volcanic cones are nearby on the Etna side. The Parco dell'Etna covers the mountain above the built-up belt. The nearest ski lifts are those on Etna south around Rifugio Sapienza, roughly a 30-40 minute drive depending on road conditions. Catania is the nearest large city and provides the full range of city services, rail links and the main airport for eastern Sicily. The area is known for vineyards, pistachios, orchards and villages built with Etna stone on the volcano's lower slopes.
