Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €83,000 (€664/m²), the asking price is already about 38% above the local comparison level, and allowing roughly €25,000 for updating its stated “discrete” condition brings the effective cost to about €864/m². The central location, sea view, elevator, terrace and 3 km distance from the coast add appeal, but do not fully justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, bright seventh-floor apartment with a genuinely impressive panoramic sea view, large balcony and abundant natural light. The interior is solid, furnished and usable now, though distinctly old-fashioned rather than beautifully renovated. Its central location and generous layout make it a realistic home, while the highway infrastructure below reduces the sense of romantic seaside escape.
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 – €14,000
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 is clearly livable but dated, with old kitchen, wallpaper and furnishings likely needing cosmetic updating.
- The spectacular sea panorama is partly compromised by the dense road interchange and neighboring buildings below.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a three-bedroom, 125 sqm apartment; energy class F may mean higher running 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
Location score 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Agrigento, so the resident setting is urban streets on a ridge near the south coast. The Valle dei Templi lies immediately outside the modern city, with a long line of Greek temple remains on the ridge above the sea plain. The Mediterranean coast is close, including the shore at San Leone. Porto Empedocle is the nearest coastal town of size. The area is known for the archaeological landscape of ancient Akragas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
