Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €23,000 asking price is €329/m², about 19% below the local €405/m² reference, while the listing says only small maintenance works are needed. Allowing roughly €200/m² for those works brings the effective cost above the reference, but the independent historic-center location, terrace, and 19 photos support a solid opportunity.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable small home in the historic center, with balconies, traditional terrazzo floors, an arched opening and a glimpse toward the green Sicilian hills. The interiors are dated but furnished, roofed and equipped with bathrooms and basic kitchen facilities, so this is a refresh project rather than a ruin. At €23,000, its strongest appeal is the unusually low entry price for a livable town house.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Dated interiors and finishes need cosmetic updating and some maintenance.
- Very compact, vertically arranged home with steep internal stairs and narrow outdoor access.
- No significant private garden or expansive view 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 61/100The cluster sits in the Iblei uplands. Within about 15 km the landscape is a plateau of limestone hills, dry valleys and cultivated land, with long views across the Ragusa interior. Chiaramonte Gulfi is a hill town with a substantial historic centre and it is known locally for olive oil and traditional pork products. Ragusa, with full services and major shopping, schools and hospitals, is the nearest city of size. The wider area is part of the Hyblaean countryside of south-eastern Sicily rather than a single protected landmark landscape.
