Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 plus an estimated €84,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,350/m², well above the local reference of €400/m². Scicli’s tourist appeal, balconies and terrace add value, but the listing does not say whether the property is habitable or what work is required.
More on the house and the area
A characterful independent house in Scicli’s historic Santa Maria La Nova district, with balconies, a terrace, old stone façades, and striking views over the church, rooftops, and surrounding limestone cliffs. The €78,000 price for 120 sqm is attractive, but the lack of interior evidence prevents confirming whether this is a move-in home or a substantial renovation project.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €42,000
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 interior photos, so the actual livability and renovation needs are unclear.
- The home is spread over three levels with steep access and only one bathroom.
- The dense historic setting may mean limited privacy and difficult vehicle access.
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 84/100This is the south-eastern tip of Sicily, with the limestone Hyblaean plateau cut by narrow valleys and quarries around Scicli. The Mediterranean coast is close, with the beaches and low cliffs of the Costa di Carro and Sampieri area within about 15 km, and the Irminio river mouth and coastal reserve to the west. Scicli itself has a large Baroque historic centre and is part of the Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto UNESCO site. Modica, another substantial town with a major historic centre and services, is nearby. The area is known for Val di Noto Baroque architecture, dry-stone walls, carob and olive countryside, and for Montalbano filming locations.
