In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €82,501 (€693/m²), this habitable villa reaches an estimated effective cost of about €893/m² after modest allowance for habitation-related work, far above the local reference of €263/m². The listing has strong amenities and 33 photos, but it does not state the bathroom count or energy performance, and its 12 km distance from the sea offers no clear location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial 119 sqm house with a functioning-looking kitchen, tiled floors, heating, garage, balcony and terrace, but the photos show little beauty or distinctive Italian character. It appears more like a basic, dated home needing meaningful updating than a dream property, with an unfinished section further reducing confidence in immediate livability.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Very dated, poorly presented interiors with exposed wiring and visible wear.
- One large area appears unfinished, with raw brick walls and ceiling.
- No bathroom is clearly shown despite the listing stating the home is habitable.
- Exterior garden and boundaries look overgrown and unmaintained.
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 52/100The area is the inland side of the Piana di Gioia Tauro–Vibo countryside, with low hills and cultivated land. The Tyrrhenian coast around the Gulf of Sant'Eufemia is about 12 km away, with the nearest everyday centre of size at Vibo Valentia, which has the provincial services and a substantial historic town. Pizzo is also nearby on the coast, known for its castle and seafront town centre. This part of Calabria is known for olive groves, citrus and nduja from the Spilinga area.
