See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 (€314/m²), the 159 m² house is priced below local listings, but it is explicitly a full renovation project; estimating about €900/m² puts the all-in cost near €193,000 (€1,214/m²), well above the €403/m² benchmark. The solid structure, garden, terrace, and 39 photos are positives, but the 20 km distance from the sea offers no major location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a large independent house with a sunny façade, balconies, terrace potential, and an unusually lush private garden for an urban property. However, the attractive front presentation is misleading: the interior photos show a solid but very dated and neglected home requiring substantial renovation before it becomes a comfortable residence.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€31,000 – €56,000
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 property is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with extensive cleaning and modernization required.
- Several interiors are dated, cluttered, damp-stained, or deteriorated; the bathroom is especially old-fashioned.
- The private garden is large and potentially attractive but currently heavily overgrown.
- The listing records zero bathrooms, so the usable bathroom situation and utilities should be verified.
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 Ragusa, so the resident landscape is urban streets on the Hyblaean plateau. The area lies on the Monti Iblei, with a limestone tableland cut by ravines and dry-stone farmland in the surrounding countryside. The Irminio river valley is nearby, and the Mediterranean coast around Marina di Ragusa is the nearest sea access. Ragusa has a substantial historic centre including Ragusa Ibla, a baroque quarter that forms part of the Val di Noto UNESCO World Heritage listing shared with other towns of south-eastern Sicily. The wider area is known for Hyblaean baroque towns, stone-walled farmland, olive oil and caciocavallo ragusano cheese.
