At €33,740 (€456/m²), this furnished 74 m² villa is about 23% above the local comparison level before works; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified condition brings the effective cost to about €656/m². The 800 m sea proximity, heating and fireplace add appeal, but the listing does not state the condition, bathrooms or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
The strongest appeal is the unusually low price for a 74 m² villa near the sea, with a reported 580 m² garden, covered verandas, kitchen, fireplace, and heating. However, the gallery shows only maps and promotional slides—not the house itself—and the absence of a listed bathroom makes livability uncertain rather than proven.
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.
- No actual interior or exterior property photos are provided, so condition and visual appeal cannot be verified.
- The listed bathroom count is 0, which raises a serious livability and renovation question.
- This is a judicial auction, with legal, occupancy, and documentation checks still required.
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 cluster is in the built-up area of Siracusa, so the resident setting is urban streets rather than open landscape. The Ionian coast is nearby, with the low limestone shore south of the city and the bay and harbour of Siracusa. The Plemmirio marine protected area lies just south of the city. Syracuse itself is a major historic city with the island of Ortigia, the Greek theatre and archaeological park, and UNESCO status as part of Syracuse and the Rocky Necropolis of Pantalica. The area is known for the archaeological remains of the Greek city and for the coastal scenery of the south-eastern Sicilian shore.
