What it really costs
Can you move in?
Move in as it is
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€1,417/m²), even allowing €200/m² for a supposedly move-in-ready home, the effective cost is about €1,617/m² versus €485/m² for comparable local stock. The sea-front setting and terraces add appeal, but the price is far above the benchmark; the listing does not state the building year or condition.
More on the house and the area
A bright, turnkey coastal apartment with two usable terraces, polished interiors, palms, and a genuine glimpse of the sea. It looks immediately livable, with a fitted kitchen, comfortable bedroom, functioning bathroom, and strong indoor-outdoor appeal, though it lacks historic character and the view is not fully open.
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€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.
- Energy class G may mean higher running costs.
- The sea view is attractive but partly screened by rooftops and mature trees.
- This is a compact one-bedroom apartment in a residence, not a standalone home with private land.
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 41/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast at Augusta, on a low shoreline with the large natural harbour of Augusta and the sea immediately beside the built-up area. The mouth of the Simeto valley and the flat Catania plain lie to the north. Siracusa is the nearest major historic city, with the archaeological park and the old island centre of Ortigia. Mount Etna is visible in the wider area and the main access points on the south side are around 1 to 1.5 hours by road, but it is outside the 15 km landscape. This stretch of coast is also known for the heavy industrial and port zone between Augusta, Priolo and Melilli.
