House for 1 Euro? Kitchen design: Delivering tile to a Thousand-Year-Old House in Sicily...
We went on an adventure to Sicily to try to buy a house for 1 Euro. We got outbid and what we purchased was actually 19,000 Euros. Then we bought the neighbours for 8,000 Euro.
Our Sicily dream house renovation continues. This is the 3rd level or Floor 2 of our Italy renovation. It's the main level where we have the kitchen, dining, and living areas. #1eurohouse #sicilyhomesforsale #sicilia #renovation

    Renovation will cost 5-600 Euros per square meter. Double that for extensive renovations. These costs assume that there aren't major undetected problems and that you'll find a competent and honest contractor (which in some areas is next to impossible). If you need to go to an Italian court of "justice", you'll never see your money again. EVER!

      Originally we were only going to do minor rehab to the bare necessities and estimated 40,00 US, but we've since tripled that budget due to our growing family and interest in visiting from friends. We decided to spend more and do a full renovation of all parts, put us more in the $125,000 zone.

Reasonable rates? materials cost? how difficult and time-consuming is it to get permits? If you're willing to talk about "nuts and bolts" issues in some of your videos it'd be really appreciated.
