At €370/m², the asking price is below the local €408/m² benchmark, and the historic Ragusa Ibla setting adds value. However, the listing states about 65 m² versus 100 m² in the listing data, while the property is only described as being in decent condition and has energy class G; verify the actual size and renovation needs before relying on the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
This independent two-level home has a genuinely spectacular view across the historic Ragusa Ibla landscape, with evocative old-town architecture, balconies, arches, and traditional details. The interior is plain and dated but appears roofed, floored, heated, and broadly usable, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms rather than being a renovation shell.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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.
- Interiors look dated and need cosmetic refreshing.
- The kitchen appears unfinished or sparsely fitted in the photos.
- The façade and some balcony/terrace areas show significant weathering; verify structural and moisture condition.
- Listed size is inconsistent: approximately 65 sqm in the description versus 100 sqm in the facts.
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 Hyblaean plateau around Ragusa, with limestone hills cut by deep valleys locally called cave. The Irminio river valley lies nearby, and the Mediterranean coast around Marina di Ragusa is about 20 km away so it does not count as an immediate landscape feature. Ragusa is the nearest town of size and has the late-Baroque historic districts of Ragusa Ibla and Superiore; the Val di Noto UNESCO site covers Ragusa together with other towns of south-eastern Sicily. The area is known for dry-stone walls, pasture and carrubo countryside, and for the Baroque towns of the south-east.
