What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
100 m² described only as a 'rudere' at €35,000; I estimate full restoration ≈ €1,100/m² → renovation ≈ €110,000, so effective price ≈ €145,000 (~€1,450/m²) versus regional benchmark €244/m². Listing gives no condition details beyond 'rudere', so this is likely an expensive full‑rebuild rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful stone farmhouse ruin on olive-land with clear sea views — very photogenic and a real bargain at €35k. However it is a true rudere (needs full rebuilding and reinstatement of services), so this is a project for someone prepared to restore rather than an immediately liveable home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- Rudere / empty shell — major renovation required (roof, floors, services).
- No usable interior shown; likely no bathroom/kitchen or utilities connected.
- Overgrown terrain and possible difficult access; check road and utilities before buying.
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 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.
