At €79,000, this is primarily approximately 2 hectares of agricultural land with a tool-storage warehouse, not a legally habitable country house. The description highlights crops, irrigation, a well and agricultural use, with no evidence that the 40 m² structure is a dwelling.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, compact country retreat with a covered terrace, functioning kitchen and bathroom, and beautiful views across cultivated hills. The real draw is the extensive productive land, including olive trees, pomegranates and fruit trees, rather than the plain interiors. Its main uncertainty is whether the small building is legally approved for full-time residential use.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €23,000
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.
- The 40 sqm building is described as a tool-storage warehouse, so residential legality and permitted use require careful verification.
- It is a very compact one-room home with a basic kitchen and bathroom.
- Managing roughly 2 hectares of orchards, olive trees and irrigation will require substantial ongoing work.
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 68/100Tiriolo stands on the Isthmus of Catanzaro between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian sides of Calabria, with the Sila visible to the northeast on clear days. The Corace valley is nearby, and the lower hills around the town are a mix of olive groves, woodland and cultivated slopes rather than a single protected landscape. Catanzaro is the nearest city of size, with the province’s main services, shops and hospital. The area is known in Calabria for the narrowest part of the peninsula and for broad views across both coasts from the higher ground around the town.
