What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €600/m², this 1920 rural farmhouse appears to require major restoration, implying an effective cost of about €1,700/m² versus the Ragusa baseline of €390/m². The facts say 100 m² while the description says approximately 50 m², and the agricultural setting plus missing condition and habitability details add risk.
More on the house and the area
The property has appealing Sicilian countryside, dry-stone walls and substantial surrounding land, but no proven house beauty or view is visible in the actual photographs. The attractive farmhouse shown is only a hypothetical renovation, so this currently reads as a rural renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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 main villa, pool and landscaping are AI-generated renovation concepts, not the current property.
- The listing describes a rustic farmhouse, but its actual condition and interior livability are not shown.
- Rural access, utilities, renovation permissions and the true building size should be verified.
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 sits within the built-up area of Ragusa, the provincial capital in south‑eastern Sicily. The town includes the historic centre Ragusa Ibla and other Baroque fabric that form part of the “Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto” UNESCO World Heritage Site. The local range is the Monti Iblei (Hyblaean Mountains), an undulating limestone plateau with inland ravines and karst terrain. The Mediterranean coast with bathing localities such as Marina di Ragusa lies to the south and serves the area. Local land use includes olive groves, vineyards and citrus cultivation typical of the Val di Noto hinterland. There are no ski lifts in the area; the nearest airport for regular passenger flights is the regional airport at Comiso, with larger connections at Catania further away.
