See what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable and only steps from the sea, with 15 photos and a garage, but the estimated all-in cost is about €51,000 (€1,133/m²), well above the local €467/m² reference. The location supports the premium, yet this is not a clear bargain at the current price.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished and habitable two-bedroom apartment near the sea, with a functional kitchen, bathroom and tiled interiors. It is practical rather than beautiful: the rooms are plain and dated, and the photos show no standout view, historic character or private outdoor space.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Compact 45 sqm layout with basic, dated furnishings and finishes.
- No sea view or private garden/terrace is shown.
- The surrounding shared access ways appear worn and utilitarian.
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 68/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast with direct access to the shoreline of this part of the Riviera dei Cedri. The Coastal Range of western Calabria rises immediately inland, so the setting is a short strip of coast backed by steep hills. The lower valley of the Torrente Malpertuso and nearby coastal ravines cut into the slopes around the settlement. Paola is the nearest larger town in daily use on this stretch of coast, with rail connections, shops and services. This part of the coast is known for beach settlements and for the Arbëreshë presence in some inland communities, including Falconara Albanese.
