Asking €35,000 (≈€389/m2) but description implies a full rework; estimated €700/m2 renovation → ≈€63,000 works, total ≈€98,000 or ≈€1,089/m2 versus the regional median of €400/m2. The listing omits the property's condition, creating renovation and cost uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful, secluded olive‑land setting and a characterful stone chimney give real rural appeal. The building itself is heavily dilapidated with cracked walls and roof collapse — not move‑in and needs major renovation or reconstruction.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- Major roof and structural damage with partial collapse
- Windows and doors missing; interior appears uninhabitable
- Overgrown grounds and vegetation surrounding the building
- Full renovation or rebuild required; verify permits and utility connections
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.
