At €46,000 (€648/m²), this is well above the local reference level of about €445/m². The sea is only 1 km away and the terrace, parking and outdoor space add value, but the condition and complete list of inclusions are not stated, so allow roughly €200/m² until verified.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Sicilian townhouse with furnished kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom, air conditioning, and distinctive wood-beamed ceilings. The large tiled terrace is the standout feature, offering generous outdoor living and an open coastal/rural outlook, though the interiors are practical rather than stylish.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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 fully usable but dated and somewhat cluttered.
- The living area is compact, with only one bathroom.
- The expansive terrace and outdoor condition should be checked for waterproofing and maintenance.
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 30/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast by the Gulf of Augusta, with a low shoreline shaped by port and refinery infrastructure around Augusta and Priolo. South of Augusta the coast continues toward the Bay of Brucoli with rocky inlets and small coves. The nearest larger city is Siracusa, which has full services, a historic centre on Ortigia, and major archaeological sites. Mount Etna is visible in the wider area on clear days but it is well beyond the local 15 km landscape. This stretch of coast is known more for its industrial complex and harbour than for protected natural scenery.
