Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €593/m², the asking price is about 22% above the local €485/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for a move-in-ready but not recently renovated home brings the effective cost to about €793/m². Its independent ground-floor layout, furnishings, courtyard, parking, solar panels, 31 photos, and location just 2 km from the sea support the price, but this is not a deep-discount deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable, furnished 118 sqm home with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a working kitchen, balconies and a pleasant internal courtyard. Traditional patterned floors and abundant furnishings give it a distinctly lived-in Sicilian character, though the beauty is more homely than spectacular and the finishes are 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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Decor and finishes are quite dated and would benefit from modernization.
- The exterior shows peeling paint and general wear.
- Urban setting with no scenic view visible in the gallery.
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 55/100This cluster is in the built-up area of Siracusa, so the resident setting is urban fabric rather than open landscape. The Ionian coast is at the city. The Plemmirio Marine Protected Area lies just south of the city, and the low limestone coast and sea cliffs of the Maddalena peninsula are within about 15 km. The River Ciane and Saline Nature Reserve is on the south side of Siracusa. Ortigia, the historic island core of Siracusa, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with the archaeological area of Neapolis, which has the Greek theatre and Roman amphitheatre. The area is known for the Greek and Roman remains of ancient Syracuse and for the coastal scenery of the southeastern Sicilian limestone shore.
