At €400/m², the asking price is close to the local €409/m² benchmark, but allowing roughly €200/m² for an unspecified condition and energy class G brings the effective cost to about €600/m². The central Pachino location, terrace, and proximity to the sea are positives, while the listing does not state the home's condition or renovation history.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial old Sicilian townhouse with an attractive historic façade, original details, and a genuinely appealing rooftop outlook toward the surrounding town and sea. It is a real, roofed and furnished home with kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and existing floors, but it is very dated and neglected, requiring meaningful renovation before it becomes a comfortable dream home.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed: peeling plaster, damp-looking walls, dated finishes, clutter, and heavily deteriorated terraces.
- The rooftop terrace has cracked parapets and appears poorly maintained, so its safety and waterproofing should be checked.
- Only one full bathroom is clearly shown, with a small service bathroom mentioned; utilities and structural condition need verification.
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 81/100The cluster sits on the southeast tip of Sicily near the Ionian coast, with the coast of Capo Passero and the island of Capo Passero within the local landscape. The Vendicari Nature Reserve lies nearby along this stretch of coast, with lagoons, marshes and low rocky and sandy shoreline. Marzamemi is the nearest small centre of note on the coast, with a historic tuna-fishery core and harbour. Noto is the nearest larger historic town in daily reach, with a full range of services and its UNESCO Baroque old town. This area is known for tomatoes from Pachino, vineyards, and fishing along the coast.
