Estimated renovation €700/m² → renovation ≈ €77,000 and effective price ≈ €157,000 (≈€1,427/m²) vs regional median €241/m². Good location (2 km from sea) and 19 photos, but the high renovation burden makes the effective price far above local norms.
More on the house and the area
Huge panoramic sea views and a sizeable, planted plot of land make this a very appealing country home. The building is a solid, roofed two‑storey with floors, balcony and garage but will need updating and cosmetic repairs. Good value for a livable sea‑view property if you want a renovation project rather than a turnkey move‑in.
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€22,000 – €39,000
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 72/100The Tyrrhenian coast is at the door, with a rocky shoreline and small beaches around Joppolo and Capo Vaticano within the local stretch of coast. The slopes of Monte Poro rise immediately inland, with a rural plateau of olive groves and fields behind the coast. Nicotera is the nearest town of some size, with services and an old centre above the sea. Tropea is nearby along the same coast and is known for its historic centre on the cliff and for the Costa degli Dei shoreline. The area is known for sea views toward Sicily and the Aeolian Islands in clear weather, and for red onion cultivation around Tropea.
