See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (ASTA), which carries legal and procedural risk. Listed at €62,663 and adding estimated finishes (~€400/m²) gives an effective ~€1,040/m² versus the regional baseline €380/m², and the text contradicts the 'Habitable' condition by saying parts are 'non rifinito' (unfinished).
More on the house and the area
A solid, single‑storey villa set in a large, private garden with mature pines — a real outdoors appeal close to the coast. Interiors are lived‑in and usable (sitting room with fireplace, kitchen, shower/bath), but dated and the attic is raw; overall a good-value, move‑in‑after‑cosmetic‑work home rather than a turnkey dream.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €19,000
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 sold at auction — verify tribunal/title documentation before bidding
- Cosmetic updating needed (dated interiors, external staining on render)
- Sottotetto/attic is unfinished and requires works to be habitable
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 streets rather than open countryside. The Ionian coast is nearby, with the shoreline of Siracusa and the Plemmirio marine area south of the city. The River Ciane and the saline area at the mouth of the Anapo lie just south of the city, protected in the Riserva Naturale Orientata Fiume Ciane e Saline di Siracusa. Ortigia, the historic island core of Siracusa, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of Syracuse and the Rocky Necropolis of Pantalica. The city itself has major archaeological remains including the Greek theatre and the Neapolis archaeological area, and it is known for its Greek and baroque heritage.
