At €87,000 (€446/m²), the property is only slightly above the local €409/m² benchmark before allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified upkeep and the conversion of the ground-floor shop. Its 195 m², two existing entrances, balconies and seven bedrooms offer useful space, but the listing does not state the condition or legal status of converting the commercial area into a dwelling.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely usable multi-level home with several kitchens, two bathrooms, balconies, tiled floors, and one room with exposed wooden beams. It offers excellent space for the price, but the interiors are plain and dated, with no proven view, garden, or especially memorable setting.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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 are dated and would benefit from cosmetic renovation.
- Energy class G implies potentially high heating and upgrade costs.
- The ground-floor commercial unit may require legal/use verification before conversion to residential space.
- No compelling view, garden, or standout exterior is shown.
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 58/100The cluster lies on the Hyblaean plateau inland from Siracusa, in a landscape of low limestone tableland cut by dry valleys and cultivated with citrus, olives and arable fields. The Anapo and Ciane river area and the Riserva Naturale Orientata Cavagrande del Cassibile are within the wider surroundings of this part of inland Siracusa province, though not all points around Floridia sit directly inside those gorges. Siracusa is the nearest city of size and has major historic fabric including Ortigia and the archaeological park. This area is known for Hyblaean limestone countryside and for agriculture linked to the Siracusa plain, especially citrus.
