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 €78,000 for 107 sqm, the asking price is €729/sqm, but the text says the house is "da rimodernare," so I estimate about €500/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,229/sqm. That is far above the local sub-€100k baseline of €396/sqm, though the near-sea location (1 km), independent villa format, and strong photo set support some value.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a project shell: kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom are all in place, with character from the timber-beamed ceilings and a shaded garden setting. The exterior is worn and the overall look is modest, so the dream factor comes more from affordable near-sea living with outdoor space than from standout beauty.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €21,000
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.
- Exterior needs clear refurbishment and upkeep
- Interiors are habitable but dated and fairly basic
- No real sea view shown despite being near the coast
- Road-front setting is practical rather than romantic
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 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.
