At €1,176/m² before works and an estimated effective €1,876/m² after renovation, this is far above the local benchmark of €486/m². The sea view, 85 m² rooftop terrace and Sciacca location add value, but the ongoing renovation, energy class G and lack of lift do not justify the premium without clearer work details.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €30,000
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 72/100The area is on the Strait of Sicily coast, with beaches and low coastal ground around Sciacca and a hilly agricultural interior of olive groves and vineyards. The Belice valley lies to the east and the lower Platani valley is within the wider surrounding area. The nearest substantial town is Sciacca itself, which has a port, a large historic centre, and a long-established spa tradition linked to thermal waters. The area is known for fishing, ceramics, and olive oil.
