At €376/m², the asking price is slightly below the local €395/m² reference, but a habitable-home allowance of about €31,400 brings the effective cost to roughly €576/m². The listing has attractive space, garage and terrace, but the stated facts conflict with the description on bathrooms and room count, and energy class G suggests future upgrade costs.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, clearly livable Sicilian family house with generous rooms, a usable terrace, garage, and distant countryside/rooftop views. Its condition appears sound and move-in ready, but the dated 1970s interiors and ordinary urban exterior limit the dream-home wow factor.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.
- Interiors are solid and furnished but distinctly dated, with old patterned flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, and bathrooms.
- The home is in a dense urban neighborhood with no visible garden; the terrace has a modest rather than spectacular outlook.
- The listing information is inconsistent: the facts state 1 bathroom while the description claims 3.
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 the inland Hyblaean plateau around Comiso, with low limestone hills, dry-stone walls, quarries and a farmed landscape of olive groves, vineyards and fields. The nearest coast is the Strait of Sicily shore around Marina di Ragusa and Scoglitti, with sandy beaches and low coastal ground rather than cliffs. Ragusa is the nearest larger town and has the Baroque historic quarters of Ragusa Ibla and Ragusa Superiore; together with nearby Modica and Scicli, this south-eastern Sicilian Baroque area has UNESCO status. The area is known for agriculture, especially wine, olive oil and greenhouse horticulture toward the coast.
