Price €18,000 plus estimated renovation €700/m² (~€105,000) yields total ≈€123,000 or ≈€820/m², well above the regional median €384/m². Description calls it a 'rudere' (substantial rebuild likely); sea 4 km helps but does not offset the high restoration cost.
More on the house and the area
Attractive traditional stone farmhouse with 1,800 m² of land and pleasant hill (and distant sea) views. The shell and exterior are very photogenic, but the property is a rudere that needs full renovation and installation of services before it can be lived in.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.

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 is on the Tyrrhenian side of northern Calabria with the coastal ridge of the Catena Costiera immediately inland and the sea at Belvedere Marittimo close by. The Riviera dei Cedri runs along this stretch of coast and the area is known for cedar cultivation. Belvedere Marittimo has a historic upper town and a seafront lower town with everyday services; Scalea is the nearest larger coastal centre on this section of shore, and Paola farther south is the main rail stop for wider connections. The western edge of Parco Nazionale del Pollino is inland beyond the immediate coastal strip, but it lies outside the 15 km landscape around the cluster.
