In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €67,000 (€859/m²), even a modest habitable-home allowance of about €15,600 brings the effective cost to roughly €1,059/m², far above comparable local stock around €264/m². The Pollino setting, detached layout, surrounding land and garage add appeal, but the 3 km distance from town and Energy G do not justify this premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable, furnished two-bedroom house in a beautiful wooded Pollino setting, with mountain scenery, extensive surrounding land and a usable kitchen. The interiors are modest and dated rather than spectacular, while the original exterior needs cosmetic maintenance; nevertheless, it is a real liveable home rather than a renovation shell.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Several exterior images are explicitly AI-modified; the original photos show a much more weathered facade and simpler paving.
- The gallery does not show the bathroom, so its condition is unverified.
- Energy class G and a rural location 3 km from town may mean higher running costs and car dependence.
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 78/100The western foothills of the Pollino and Orsomarso mountains are within the 15 km radius, with steep wooded slopes and narrow valleys around the upper Lao basin. The Lao River runs through this area, and the Valle del Fiume Lao forms part of Pollino National Park. The Tyrrhenian coast is close by, with the shore around Scalea and Santa Maria del Cedro just beyond the hills. The nearest town of size is Scalea, which provides the main rail station, supermarkets and everyday services on the coast. This part of northern Calabria is known for mountain villages above the Tyrrhenian side and for the Lao valley.
