Listing price €65,000 (650 €/m²) plus estimated renovation €20,000 (200 €/m²) gives an effective €85,000 or 850 €/m²—about 86% above the area's median of €457/m², so it looks expensive for the region. The ad has 46 photos and a garage/terrace and reads as in decent condition, but the formal condition field is missing.
More on the house and the area
Solid three‑storey borgo house with an actual small walled garden/fig tree and a garage, plus a clear valley view — rare at this price. Interiors are liveable but dated, so this is a realistic, affordable home if you’re willing to modernise finishes. Not a showstopper, but a charming, usable property with good renovation potential.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 updating needed (kitchen/bathroom/finishes).
- Plain mid‑20th century exterior — not a restored historic facade.
- Street is on a steep slope; access and parking may be tight.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the Hyblaean plateau, with limestone hills, dry valleys and mixed farmland typical of the interior of Ragusa province. The Irminio river basin is nearby, and the Cava dei Servi and other Hyblaean cave valleys are in the wider area around Monterosso Almo. The nearest larger town is Ragusa, which has the services of a provincial capital and the late-Baroque urban landscape shared with the Val di Noto UNESCO area. Monterosso Almo itself is one of I Borghi più belli d’Italia. This part of the Hyblaean interior is known for stone-built hill settlements, pasture and olive landscapes, and for access to the baroque towns of south-eastern Sicily.
