Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€620/m²), the asking price is already above the local €445/m² benchmark, and the unknown condition could bring the effective cost to roughly €1,320/m² after renovation. The sea is only 3 km away and the home has independent access, but the listing gives no condition or construction details and cites 121 m² while the facts state 137 m².
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, usable townhouse with bright rooms, functioning kitchen and bathroom, marble-like floors, a balcony and a large rooftop terrace. Its strongest appeal is practical space and outdoor potential rather than spectacular beauty; the finishes and roof terrace feel dated and weathered, but it appears immediately habitable.
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€27,000 – €48,000
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.
- Interiors are livable but quite dated and heavily furnished, likely needing cosmetic modernization.
- The rooftop terrace is spacious but visibly weathered, with aging walls, tanks and exposed equipment.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 137 sqm, three-bedroom home.
- No notable landscape view or private ground-level garden is visible.
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 81/100The cluster sits on the southeast tip of Sicily near the Ionian coast, with the coast of Capo Passero and the island of Capo Passero within the local landscape. The Vendicari Nature Reserve lies nearby along this stretch of coast, with lagoons, marshes and low rocky and sandy shoreline. Marzamemi is the nearest small centre of note on the coast, with a historic tuna-fishery core and harbour. Noto is the nearest larger historic town in daily reach, with a full range of services and its UNESCO Baroque old town. This area is known for tomatoes from Pachino, vineyards, and fishing along the coast.
