Asking €12,000 but listed as “Needs renovation” — estimated €700/m² → total effective ≈€59,600 or ≈€876/m², which is about 2.1× the regional median €417/m²; 27 km from the sea. Photos (17) are present and the condition is consistent, but the high renovation burden makes this overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Very cheap 2‑storey town house with a small garden/plot and original wooden beams that give some character. Photos show a roofed but dilapidated interior with no bathroom and rotten stairs/ceiling — a full renovation (possibly structural) is needed before living in. Good as a low‑cost project for someone prepared to do serious work, but not a ready home.
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€14,000 – €24,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Major renovation required: ceilings/beams and interior finishes look damaged.
- No bathroom shown and kitchen likely missing — not move-in ready.
- Stairs and some timbers appear rotten and may need structural repair.
- Town setting with limited views; not a scenic or isolated location.
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 56/100The cluster is in the Savuto valley on the inland side of the Catena Costiera Calabra, with wooded hills and lower Apennine ridges around it. The Savuto river valley is the main local landform. Sila National Park is farther east and outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The nearest town of size is Cosenza, which has the provincial capital’s services, rail connections and a large historic centre. This part of Calabria is known for hill villages, chestnut and olive country, and for routes crossing between the Tyrrhenian side and the interior.
