This is a judicial auction and the description reports vandalism, abandoned condition and non‑functioning electrical/plumbing; I estimate renovation ≈€1,100/m², so the effective price is ≈€324,300 (≈€1,297/m²) vs the regional median €380/m². Auction status plus the clear contradiction with the 'Renovated' label make this unsuitable for typical buyers without specialist auction support.
More on the house and the area
Large single‑storey villa on a generous 1,619 m² plot with an incomplete in‑ground pool — real potential for a family home or country retreat. The building is currently abandoned, vandalised and lacks working utilities, so this is a deep renovation project despite the attractive price and land.
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€99,000 – €146,000
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.
- Property is abandoned and vandalised with missing internal/external fixtures
- Electrical and water systems are non‑functioning (wiring, panel and sanitary fittings missing)
- Evidence of rising damp and infiltration inside
- Extra‑urban location with limited local services and access via SS124
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.
