The €72,724 price (€285/m²) is below the Sicilia baseline of €389/m², but this is explicitly an auction property, which is a veto red flag for this catalog. The listing has 33 photos and has been on the market for only 22 days.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious Sicilian villa with generous outdoor space, mature palms, terraces, and a pleasant rural setting near Syracuse. However, the interiors and grounds are severely neglected, with debris, moisture or structural-finish damage, and no clearly usable bathroom or kitchen visible; it currently reads as a major renovation project rather than a home ready for living.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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 heavily neglected, with extensive rubbish, overgrown grounds, damaged finishes, and visible ceiling deterioration.
- No usable bathroom or kitchen is shown, so the advertised “habitable” condition should be independently verified.
- This is an auction property; legal status, access, utilities, and renovation costs require careful due diligence.
- The pool is mentioned in the description but is not clearly visible in the photos.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Siracusa, so the resident setting is urban fabric rather than open landscape. The Ionian coast is nearby, with the sea edge of Siracusa and the limestone coast south toward the Plemmirio marine area within the local radius. The Ciane and Saline di Siracusa nature reserve lies just south of the city, around the mouths of the Ciane and Anapo rivers. Syracuse and the Rocky Necropolis of Pantalica is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with the archaeological core in the city and the wider designation extending inland. The area is known for the Greek and Roman remains of Siracusa, including Ortigia and the archaeological park.
