What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Price is 988 EUR/m2 vs a town median of 456 EUR/m2 (2.2x the baseline), and the property is explicitly 'interamente da ristrutturare' (fully needing renovation), so add ~700 EUR/m2 in renovation costs bringing all-in to roughly 1,700 EUR/m2. Independent house with veranda, courtyard/garden, two levels, close to Ragusa (3km) is a plus, but no data on condition, building year, or energy class. Fresh listing (1 day). At this premium over median for a gut-renovation project, it's overpriced unless the price drops or the outdoor space/independence justifies it for a specific buyer.
More on the house and the area
A modest 80 sqm two-level Sicilian townhouse near Ragusa in fully derelict condition. Photos show a rustic stone-walled courtyard with olive/citrus trees and a small vegetable plot, an old tiled-roof loggia, and interiors with severe damp, flaking plaster and dated fittings. The stone garden walls and mature trees give some rural charm, but nothing rises to a scroll-stopping level. The setting is ordinary suburban-fringe (near a roundabout entrance to Ragusa), and the property needs complete renovation. At ~988 EUR/m2 it is reasonably priced but not a dramatic bargain for the condition. No exceptional view, architecture, or location to trigger a wow response.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
- Entirely unrenovated ('interamente da ristrutturare')
- Interior shows heavy damp damage and peeling walls
- No standout view or setting - overlooks parked cars/adjacent buildings
- Cluttered courtyard with utilitarian, worn stone surfaces
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.
