Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The sea-front location, private garden, terrace, parking and good stated condition are attractive, but the estimated all-in cost is about €1,471/m² (€89,000 purchase plus roughly €14,000 for updates), far above comparable local homes around €462/m². Energy class G also weakens the investment case, despite the strong holiday-rental setting.
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 – €8,000
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.
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 76/100The cluster is on the Ionian side of Calabria near the Capo Rizzuto promontory and the coast of the Area Marina Protetta Capo Rizzuto, with long stretches of shoreline, low cliffs and beaches within the local area. The sea here is the Ionian Sea. Le Castella, with its Aragonese fortress on a small coastal islet, is within the same coastal area. Crotone is the nearest town of size, with port functions, services and a historic centre. The area is known for its marine reserve and for the archaeological landscape of the Crotoniatide on this part of the Ionian coast.
