What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €69,000 for 233 m2 (€296/m2) but adding an estimated €200/m2 renovation (~€46,600) yields an effective price of ~€115,600 or ~€496/m2, well above the regional baseline of €270/m2. The property looks habitable and well-documented (78 photos, garage, fireplace, alarm), but the high effective €/m2 makes this an overpriced deal.
More on the house and the area
A solid, lived-in country villa with a covered patio, balcony, fireplace and clear valley/mountain views plus surrounding garden — genuinely habitable now. The interior is functional but cluttered and shows cosmetic damp/peeling in places, so expect light repairs and tidying after purchase.
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€16,000 – €26,000
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.
- Some interior damp patches and peeling plaster visible — cosmetic repairs needed
- Cluttered rooms and stored items mean a clear-out and minor updating before move-in
- House sits directly on a narrow country road (privacy/traffic considerations)
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

The nearest ski area is on Monte Sirino above Lagonegro, roughly an hour's drive depending on the road. The nearest town of some size is Castrovillari, which has the main services, shops and hospital for this part of northern Calabria. Morano Calabro, within the same mountain area, is one of I Borghi più belli d’Italia. This area is known for the Pollino mountains, the Lao gorge and rafting on the river.
