This is a judicial auction (ASTA) — buyable only via the court process, check tribunal paperwork. Price €93,742 plus assumed €200/m² renovation (€25,200) = €118,942 total (~€943/m²) versus regional median ~€380/m², so legal/transaction risk is the main issue.
More on the house and the area
Rural stone agricultural building on its own plot with olive trees — a characterful setting close to town. The photos show major cracks and crumbling masonry, so this is a renovation project requiring structural repair rather than a move‑in home.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- Large vertical crack and visible masonry loss — serious structural issues.
- Exterior looks largely derelict; likely needs full structural and roof restoration rather than a light refresh.
- No interior photos; bathrooms/kitchen and utilities are not shown and may be missing.
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 67/100The cluster lies on the Hyblaean plateau inland from Siracusa, with low limestone hills, quarries and cultivated countryside of olive groves and almond orchards. The Anapo valley and the Cavagrande del Cassibile reserve are within this part of inland Siracusa and give the area deep limestone gorges and river scenery. The nearest town of size is Siracusa, with the archaeological park, Ortigia and full city services. This part of southeastern Sicily is known for Hyblaean limestone landscapes and for olive oil and almonds.
