In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €30,000 but needs full renovation (~€700/m² → ≈€70,000), so effective cost ≈€100,000 or €1,000/m² versus the local median of €244/m²; being 2 km from the sea helps but doesn’t justify the roughly fourfold premium.
More on the house and the area
A sturdy, characterful village farmhouse with attractive old stone details and a nice view toward a wooded hill and ruined tower, plus the sea nearby. The building is roofed and solid but internally rough and requires a full renovation rather than light refresh to become a livable 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€20,000 – €35,000
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.

The area around
Location score 74/100The Tyrrhenian coast is at the town, with a long beach and the sea immediately below the historic centre. The Coastal Range of north-west Calabria rises inland within a few kilometres, and the road climbs quickly from the shore into wooded hills. The lower Lao valley and the mountains of the Pollino massif are inland to the north-east, but outside the immediate coastal strip. Scalea is the nearest larger coastal centre for everyday services, and Paola is the nearest rail hub on this side of Calabria. Belvedere Marittimo is known locally for its old town on the slope above the sea and for the Castle of Belvedere in the historic centre.
