What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000, estimated updates bring the effective cost to about €56,000, or €700/m², well above the local €380/m² reference. The independent house and garden are positives, but the remote countryside setting and lack of stated condition, year, or energy information make this an ordinary-to-weak deal rather than a bargain.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
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 around Comiso lies on the Hyblaean plateau, with low limestone hills, dry-stone walls, vineyards, olive groves and broad cultivated countryside. The Dirillo river valley is nearby to the west. Ragusa is the nearest larger town, with an extensive historic centre including Ragusa Ibla. Vittoria is also close and is known for agriculture and wine production, including Cerasuolo di Vittoria. The coast is not far south, with the beaches and low shores around Scoglitti within the wider area for daily use, but not inside the immediate inland landscape. This part of south-eastern Sicily is known for late Baroque towns and for wine and greenhouse agriculture.
