See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is primarily a collapsed rural complex, with most of the 120 m² classified as F/2 ruins and only 37 m² as a garage; the listing explicitly presents it for storage or a future redevelopment, not as a habitable home. At €57,000 plus roughly €132,000 in restoration, the effective cost is about €1,575/m² before resolving residential conversion and permitting.
More on the house and the area
The rough Sicilian stone walls, old rural character and 200 sqm of private land offer some restoration charm. However, this is predominantly a ruin rather than a usable home: most structures are collapsed or severely deteriorated, with no livable interior shown. The intact garage portion does not offset the scale of the reconstruction needed.
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€48,000 – €70,000
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.
- Most of the complex is officially classified as a collapsed/uninhabitable structure (F/2).
- The photos show deteriorated roofs, rubble, vegetation and interiors requiring major reconstruction.
- Only approximately 37 sqm is registered as a usable garage; residential conversion, utilities and permits require verification.
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 Ragusa, so the resident landscape is urban streets on the Hyblaean plateau. The area lies on the Monti Iblei, with a limestone tableland cut by ravines and dry-stone farmland in the surrounding countryside. The Irminio river valley is nearby, and the Mediterranean coast around Marina di Ragusa is the nearest sea access. Ragusa has a substantial historic centre including Ragusa Ibla, a baroque quarter that forms part of the Val di Noto UNESCO World Heritage listing shared with other towns of south-eastern Sicily. The wider area is known for Hyblaean baroque towns, stone-walled farmland, olive oil and caciocavallo ragusano cheese.
