Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
With an estimated €200/m² overhaul the effective price is €114,000 (≈€844/m²), far above the regional median of €270/m²; the house is habitable and 500 m from the sea but priced at a large premium. The listing does not state energy class or building year.
More on the house and the area
A roomy, habitable seaside bifamiliare with large tiled terraces, gated yard and direct sea views — a real summer-home setting that you could move into now. Interiors are functional but dated, so this is best for someone who wants immediate coastal living with straightforward cosmetic updates.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Dated interior finishes and bathroom — cosmetic updating likely needed
- Very close to the road/shore so expect limited privacy and salt-air maintenance
- No visible modern energy upgrades (AC units present) — check insulation and utilities
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 56/100The area sits on the Ionian coastal strip at the foot of the eastern Sila foothills. The Ionian Sea is a few kilometres away, with the long beach settlements of the Rossano-Corigliano coast along this stretch. Inland, the landscape rises into olive groves, citrus and hillside villages, and the Sila Greca sector of the Sila massif begins within the wider 15 km hinterland. Corigliano-Rossano is the nearest large urban centre, with full services, shops, a hospital, rail connections and the port area of Corigliano. This part of the coast is known for clementines, olive oil and licorice production in the Sibari plain and Ionian Cosenza area.
