What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
It is explicitly in cadastral category F/3 and 'allo stato grezzo', so it is not currently a legally habitable dwelling; with finishing works estimated around €1,100/m², the effective cost is about €1,719/m² (€65,000 + ~€115,500 over 105 m²). The sea-view location 1 km from the coast is attractive, but the non-habitable status plus basic services (cistern water, old cesspit) make this a high-risk buy.
More on the house and the area
The setting has some appeal: a rural Sicilian lane, orchard/olive-type planting, and a genuine sliver of sea view with a panoramic roof terrace. But this is not a ready dream home yet—the interiors are largely unfinished and basic, with rough walls, bare floors and incomplete bathroom areas, so livability is limited until substantial work is done. At €65k it has project potential rather than true wow-as-a-home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€42,000 – €62,000
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.
- Interior is still in rough unfinished F/3 state
- Likely needs full completion of bathroom/finishes and systems verification
- Water is via cistern/autobotte rather than standard mains supply
- Old cesspit drainage setup
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 84/100The cluster is on the south-eastern Sicilian coast, with the Mediterranean at the door and long sandy beaches in the Scicli and Donnalucata area. The countryside just inland is the Hyblaean plateau edge, with limestone valleys and dry-stone field patterns typical of this part of Ragusa province. The town of Scicli has a large Baroque historic centre and is part of the UNESCO Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto. Modica is the nearest larger town of note, with extensive historic fabric in a steep valley. This area is known for Sicilian Baroque towns, stone-built rural landscapes and greenhouse and horticultural farming along the coastal strip.
