At €79,000 (€658/m²), the estimated all-in cost is about €91,000, or €758/m² after a modest €100/m² refresh. The apartment is move-in ready with elevator, balcony and panoramic sea views, but it is priced well above the €485/m² local benchmark.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, solid sixth-floor apartment with a long balcony and genuinely impressive views over Augusta’s historic rooftops, coastline, and gulf. The home appears fully floored and structurally usable, with functioning bathroom, windows, air conditioning, and elevator access, though the kitchen and dated finishes need refreshing. The combination of sea views, historic urban character, and a livable 120 sqm layout makes this a strong dream-home candidate at the price.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- The kitchen appears unfinished or stripped back and likely needs fitting out.
- Interiors are dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Sixth-floor urban setting means street noise and limited privacy may be considerations.
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 22/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast by the Gulf of Augusta. The area is defined by a large port and petrochemical-industrial zone around Augusta, Priolo and Melilli. The nearest substantial historic city is Siracusa, which has the archaeological park and the island centre of Ortigia, and the city is on the UNESCO list. This stretch of coast is known more for industry and port infrastructure than for a distinctive protected landscape.
