I estimate renovation at €200/m² → €18,000 total, giving an effective price of €53,000 or about €589/m². That is well above the local median of €439/m²; being 2 km from the sea helps but doesn’t offset the higher effective cost.
More on the house and the area
A solid, characterful two‑storey Sicilian house with an arched entrance, large covered terrace, roof terrace and distant sea view across olive groves. The layout is immediately usable but the interiors and exterior need cosmetic updating and some maintenance — an affordable, liveable country home once refreshed.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Cosmetic renovation needed (peeling plaster, finishes)
- Dated kitchen and bathroom — modernisation required
- Single bathroom only
- Terrace/roof and exterior show wear and may need waterproofing/repairs
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 62/100The area is on the Strait of Sicily coast, with a working port and beaches on both sides of Sciacca. The lower Belice valley and the inland hills begin just behind the coast, with olive groves and mixed farmland. The nearest larger town is Agrigento, which provides wider services and rail connections. The archaeological area of Selinunte is up the coast and the temples of Agrigento are farther east, but they are outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Sciacca is known for its fishing fleet, ceramics and thermal waters.
