See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €59,512 asking price covers only a 1/2 ownership share and the property is being sold through a judicial auction, so it is not a straightforward purchase of a livable home. The advertised 226 m² also includes commercial, garage, and storage areas and requires renovation.
More on the house and the area
The pictured kitchen and rooms look bright and usable, but they are generic rather than distinctly beautiful or characterful. The property is described as needing renovation, and the misleading or mismatched gallery makes its real condition and appearance uncertain.ડા
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€45,000 – €79,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- The listing is for only a 1/2 ownership share, not clearly the whole property.
- Facts say the property needs renovation and list no bathrooms, despite photos showing finished interiors.
- The gallery appears inconsistent with the Calabria listing: it shows a generic urban brick building and polished interiors, with no convincing Italian setting or verified exterior view.
- This is a court auction with complex commercial, garage, land, and co-ownership details.
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 35/100The cluster lies on the Tyrrhenian coastal plain of western Reggio Calabria; the Tyrrhenian Sea is about 5 km to the west. The settlement is within the Piana di Gioia Tauro, a broad coastal plain used largely for intensive agriculture (notably olive and citrus cultivation). Within c.15 km are the towns of Gioia Tauro (municipality with a large commercial container port and a railway station), Rosarno and Taurianova (local service centres). The container terminal of Gioia Tauro, a major transshipment port on the Tyrrhenian coast, is within the 15 km radius. The Tyrrhenian railway and the regional road network cross the plain and motorway access (A2/Autostrada del Mediterraneo) is available in the wider area. There are no named mountain ranges or national parks inside 15 km; the Aspromonte massif lies farther inland to the south‑east. The coastal belt nearby contains beaches and small seaside towns.
