Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €118,000 plus an estimated €25,200 of upgrades (~€200/m²) gives an effective cost of about €1,136/m², far above the local typical €457/m²; the ground floor is refurbished and ready to live in but the first floor needs modernisation. Property is 3 km from the sea, photos present, and the listing has many details so the high price appears unjustified.
More on the house and the area
Bright, clean, recently refurbished ground-floor interior (modern kitchen and bathroom) makes this a very liveable home. Upper floor shows older finishes and needs updating, but the small roof terrace and sensible layout give real family-use value in central Pachino about 3 km from the coast.
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.
- Ground floor is fully renovated and move-in ready but the first floor needs modernization.
- No sea views — the house sits on a town street (sea ~3 km away).
- Outdoor space is a small roof terrace/terrace only, not a garden.
- Exterior façade and balconies show cosmetic wear and would benefit from refresh.
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 82/100The cluster sits at the south-eastern tip of Sicily on the limestone plain around Pachino and Portopalo di Capo Passero. The Ionian coast is close, with the promontory and island of Capo Passero and the beaches and rocky stretches between Marzamemi and Portopalo within the local area. The Vendicari Nature Reserve lies nearby along this coast, with lagoons and coastal wetlands. Marzamemi is the nearest small centre of note on the coast, with the historic tuna fishery buildings around its harbour. Noto is the nearest larger historic town in the area, with the Baroque centre for which this part of the province is known. This corner of Sicily is known for tomato cultivation around Pachino and for fishing villages on the coast.
