What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 100 sqm, the asking price is €950/sqm; with a habitable-home allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,150/sqm. That is far above the local cheap-stock baseline of €389/sqm, but the near-sea location in Augusta (about 160 m from the coast) and detached villa format support a mid-range score rather than a trap.
More on the house and the area
This is a usable, detached near-sea home with lots of practical outdoor space, a covered area and a big roof terrace. Condition looks genuinely habitable, but the house is visually quite ordinary and the interiors are dated rather than dreamy. The appeal is more about easy ownership and proximity to the sea than wow beauty.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Very plain modern exterior with little architectural character
- Interiors look dated and basic rather than stylish
- No sea view shown despite being near the coast
- Outdoor space is mostly paved, with limited garden feel

The area around
Location score 41/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast at Augusta, on a low shoreline with the large natural harbour of Augusta and the sea immediately beside the built-up area. The mouth of the Simeto valley and the flat Catania plain lie to the north. Siracusa is the nearest major historic city, with the archaeological park and the old island centre of Ortigia. Mount Etna is visible in the wider area and the main access points on the south side are around 1 to 1.5 hours by road, but it is outside the 15 km landscape. This stretch of coast is also known for the heavy industrial and port zone between Augusta, Priolo and Melilli.
