See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,324/m², even assuming habitable condition with roughly €200/m² of work, the effective cost is about €1,524/m²—far above the €406/m² benchmark for comparable homes. Being 1 km from the sea with a garden, terrace and 25 photos adds appeal, but the condition is unstated and energy class G limits value.
More on the house and the area
A cheerful, usable seaside townhouse with a generous private garden, covered portico, balcony, and pleasant green views toward olive-covered countryside. The home appears solid and move-in ready, with a fitted kitchen and two bathrooms, though the finishes are dated and the architecture is more practical than characterful.
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.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs and future efficiency upgrades.
- Interiors and bathrooms are functional but dated, with cosmetic updating likely needed.
- The property is in a residential development, so privacy and maintenance arrangements should be checked.
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 Gulf of Squillace coast, with long Ionian beaches and the mouth area of the Corace river within this stretch of shore. Inland, the first Calabrian hills rise quickly behind the coast. The Sila is the nearest mountain massif but its core is well beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. Catanzaro is the nearest town of size, with full city services, rail links and hospitals. This part of the coast is known for the archaeological area of ancient Skylletion at Roccelletta di Borgia and for olive groves and citrus along the Ionian plain.
