The €43,868 asking price is very low at €142/m², but adding an estimated €61,600 for a habitable 308 m² villa gives an effective cost of about €342/m², above the local €263/m² benchmark. It offers strong features including a garage, heating, terrace, cellar and fiber internet, though the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has.
More on the house and the area
A very large, genuinely habitable 308 sqm villa at an exceptionally low price, with multiple reception rooms, bedrooms, heating, garage, cellar and outdoor spaces. The interiors are well maintained but strongly dated, while the narrow village setting and limited mountain glimpse provide charm rather than a spectacular lifestyle view.
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€20,000 – €34,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Visible wall cracks should be professionally checked, along with the roof and building systems.
- The listing reports zero bathrooms despite a bathroom photo, so the actual bathroom count and compliance need verification.
- Town-centre access appears to be via a very narrow lane, which may limit direct car access.
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 73/100The cluster is in the Aspromonte, with wooded slopes and ridgelines around the upper valleys on the Tyrrhenian side of the massif. The Aspromonte National Park lies in this area. Gambarie, the main ski station of Aspromonte, is the nearest lift area and is roughly 25–35 minutes away by road. Within the same massif are inland viewpoints toward both the Strait of Messina and the Ionian side, but the immediate landscape is mountain forest and upland villages. The nearest city of size is Reggio Calabria, which has the main rail links, ferry connections across the Strait, and the regional airport. This part of Aspromonte is known for chestnut woods, olive groves on lower slopes, and bergamot production closer to the Reggio plain and coast.
