Although the €28,000 asking price is only €255/m² and the property is 1 km from the sea, it is described as a two-storey ruin requiring roughly €121,000 in renovation. The effective cost is about €1,355/m², far above the local reference of €464/m².
More on the house and the area
The sizeable, leafy plot near the coast offers genuine potential for a peaceful Marsala retreat. However, the building itself is a severely damaged ruin rather than a livable home, so the appeal is mainly the land and redevelopment opportunity.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€44,000 – €64,000
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.
- The property is explicitly sold as a ruin, with major collapsed sections and extensive rubble.
- No usable interior, roof, kitchen, or bathroom is shown; substantial reconstruction would be required.
- The overgrown 450 sqm plot will need clearing and landscaping.
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 68/100The cluster is in the coastal plain around Marsala on the western tip of Sicily, facing the Stagnone lagoon and the island of Mozia. The coast here is low and salt-flat rather than cliffed, with the Riserva Naturale Orientata Isole dello Stagnone immediately by Marsala. Marsala is the nearest town of size and has a large historic centre, port functions, wine cellars and the archaeological museum with finds from Mozia. The area is known for salt pans, Marsala wine and Punic archaeology linked to Mozia.
