What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 105 m², the asking price is €619/m², already about 60% above your low-stock baseline of €388/m² for Sicilian villas. With the text only saying 'si presenta...' and no clear claim of renovation, I assume a needs-renovation budget around €700/m², making the effective cost roughly €1,319/m², so this looks weak rather than a bargain despite the terrace, garage, and countryside/sea-view setting near Scicli.
More on the house and the area
The strongest appeal is practical rather than instantly romantic: a detached house in the Scicli countryside with garden space and a panoramic terrace reportedly offering sea and country views. From this photo the house itself looks simple and dated, but it appears like a real, usable home rather than a shell. If the terrace and view photos deliver, it becomes charming value rather than a true scroll-stopper.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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 looks plain and somewhat dated
- Condition is unclear from the provided image
- Setting appears semi-rural roadside rather than especially picturesque
- Only one bathroom for the size

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.
