What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €85,000 for 90 m² (≈€944/m²) vs regional median of €270/m² is a large premium; the villa is 800 m from the sea with 20 photos and described as "parzialmente arredato", so I estimate renovation cost €0/m². The listing does not state condition, year or energy class, and at this price the property looks overpriced for the area.
More on the house and the area
A tidy, move-in-ready seaside villa with a lovely private paved courtyard and bougainvillea, located inside the Parco Arco Magno area close to the famous sea arch and beach. The house is livable now but a modest, slightly dated interior — great value for coastal living and easy summer use, would shine with a cosmetic refresh.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- No clear direct sea view from the house photos (beach/Arco Magno is close but not visible from the rooms pictured)
- Interiors are dated and would benefit from light modernization
- Compact bedrooms and a modest layout — best as a small family/holiday home
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.
