At €35,000 (€299/m²), the headline price is below the local €405/m² reference, but the listing explicitly presents the property as a renovation project and includes 52 m² of garage space, making the effective cost roughly €999/m² after a €700/m² renovation allowance. The listing does not state the building’s condition or year, so the low asking price is not enough to make this an exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
A very affordable 117 sqm independent home with charming old checkerboard floors, barrel-vaulted ceilings and traditional doors, plus a substantial garage. It appears roofed and basically usable, with a bathroom, kitchen area and air conditioning, but the house is tired and needs meaningful renovation rather than simple decoration.
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€23,000 – €41,000
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.
- Extensive peeling plaster, damp staining and general deterioration need repair.
- Interiors are very dated and likely require modernization of kitchen, bathroom and electrical/plumbing systems.
- No garden, terrace or notable view; the large garage is a major part of the property.
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 is the inland Hyblaean plateau around Comiso, with low limestone hills, dry-stone walls, quarries and a farmed landscape of olive groves, vineyards and fields. The nearest coast is the Strait of Sicily shore around Marina di Ragusa and Scoglitti, with sandy beaches and low coastal ground rather than cliffs. Ragusa is the nearest larger town and has the Baroque historic quarters of Ragusa Ibla and Ragusa Superiore; together with nearby Modica and Scicli, this south-eastern Sicilian Baroque area has UNESCO status. The area is known for agriculture, especially wine, olive oil and greenhouse horticulture toward the coast.
