What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 for 105 sqm, the asking price is €381/sqm, below the Sicily country-house baseline of €492/sqm, but the listing gives almost no usable detail and only 1 photo. With condition unknown, a prudent estimate is about €700/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,081/sqm, so the apparent discount is not enough to make it a strong deal.
More on the house and the area
There is no usable photo evidence here, so this cannot be judged as a dream home visually. The only positive is the low price for 105 sqm near the Sicilian coast, but beauty, character, and real condition are completely unproven.
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.
- Only one photo and it is unavailable, so beauty and condition cannot be verified
- No interior, exterior, or view evidence from photos
- Description is extremely minimal and gives no renovation/livability detail
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 61/100The area lies on the lower Verdura river plain, with cultivated countryside around Ribera and the Sicani hills inland. The south coast is nearby, with the beaches and shoreline around Seccagrande and the mouth of the Platani river within this radius. The Riserva Naturale Orientata Foce del Fiume Platani is close by, protecting dunes, river mouth habitat and a stretch of coast. Sciacca is the nearest larger town in the area, with a port, thermal tradition and a substantial historic centre. This part of Sicily is known for citrus growing, especially Ribera oranges.
