120 m² 'rudere' offered at €16,500 with a full restoration estimated at €1,100/m² (~€132,000), producing an effective price ≈€1,238/m² versus the regional median €465/m². The property is close to the sea (4 km) but the heavy restoration needs and unspecified condition make it overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Lovely, perched historic facade with a genuine panoramic hill-and-village view — great for someone who loves character. The property is a true rudere with collapsed roof and ruined interior, so it’s a project rather than a move-in home; huge renovation and permits will be needed, but the price and setting give real potential.
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.
- Significant roof/ceiling collapse — major structural work required
- No visible kitchen/bathroom or utilities; full internal rebuild likely
- Historic centre location may mean narrow access and planning/heritage restrictions
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 77/100The cluster lies on the south coast of Sicily by the Strait of Sicily, with low coastal hills and open agricultural land. The Platani river reaches the sea nearby at the Foce del Fiume Platani reserve, a protected stretch of dune and river-mouth coast with sandy shoreline. Torre Salsa, the WWF-managed coastal reserve, is within this stretch of coast and is known for undeveloped cliffs, coves and Mediterranean scrub. The nearest town of size is Agrigento, which has full services and the Valley of the Temples archaeological area.
