Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 plus an estimated €30,800 for habitable-condition works, the effective cost is about €752/m², well above the €485/m² level typical for comparable homes. The spacious 154 m² layout, balconies and location 2 km from the sea add appeal, but energy class G and the premium pricing limit the deal value.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely spacious, habitable 154 sqm apartment with an exceptional wraparound terrace, attractive arches and broad views toward Sciacca’s hills and urban landscape. It is not a postcard countryside setting, but the outdoor space and €85,000 price give it strong practical appeal; the interior is clean and usable yet plain, largely unfurnished and somewhat dated.
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.
- The apartment overlooks busy roads, parking, commercial buildings and an industrial-looking area, so traffic noise and privacy may be concerns.
- Interiors appear largely empty and dated, with no kitchen shown; some furnishing or updating is likely needed.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating and cooling costs.
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

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.
