What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 65 sqm, the ask is €1,000/sqm; with 'buone condizioni generali' and only limited works implied, I estimate about €200/sqm renovation, for an effective €1,200/sqm. The local baseline is weak and low at €600/sqm, so this looks ordinary-to-expensive rather than a bargain, despite the practical layout in Scicli.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable little town house rather than a project: it has finished floors, a bathroom, and simple furnished rooms. The barrel-vaulted ceilings add some Sicilian character, but the overall look is plain and the photos show limited light, no outdoor space, and no standout view. At €65k in Scicli it has charm and practicality more than big dream-home wow.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- No view, terrace, or outdoor space shown
- Interior is basic and somewhat dark
- Kitchen/living setup looks very minimal and may need upgrading
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 84/100This is the south-eastern tip of Sicily, with the limestone Hyblaean plateau cut by narrow valleys and quarries around Scicli. The Mediterranean coast is close, with the beaches and low cliffs of the Costa di Carro and Sampieri area within about 15 km, and the Irminio river mouth and coastal reserve to the west. Scicli itself has a large Baroque historic centre and is part of the Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto UNESCO site. Modica, another substantial town with a major historic centre and services, is nearby. The area is known for Val di Noto Baroque architecture, dry-stone walls, carob and olive countryside, and for Montalbano filming locations.
