Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The apartment is in good, habitable condition and centrally located in Siracusa, with sea access and 14 photos supporting the description. At €93,000 (€1,661/m², or about €1,861/m² including light renovation allowance), it is substantially above the local low-cost comparison level, so the location and vacation-rental potential do not fully offset the price.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, polished apartment in a striking historic Siracusa palazzo, with ornate balconies, a grand arched entrance, and a cohesive, colorful interior. It appears move-in ready with a fitted kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, air conditioning, heating, and attractive period surroundings, though the urban setting is compact and offers no meaningful open view.
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 – €6,000
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.
- Dense historic-center setting with narrow street views and no visible private garden or substantial terrace.
- The ornate facade shows some age and weathering, even though the listing states the building facade has been renovated.
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 inside the built-up area of Siracusa, on the Ionian coast by the Gulf of Syracuse and the mouth of the Ciane and Anapo rivers. The Plemmirio Marine Protected Area lies just south of the city. Ortigia, the historic island centre of Siracusa, is a UNESCO World Heritage component within the city, and the wider city is known for its Greek and Roman archaeological remains including the Neapolis area. The flat coastal plain and low limestone plateau around the city are the immediate landscape.
