At €85,000 (€1,197/m²), this apartment is far above the local comparison level of about €458/m², even allowing roughly €200/m² for likely updating. The sea-view terrace, two private bathrooms, pool and 500 m beach access add appeal, but the listing does not state its condition or building age and the G energy rating suggests limited efficiency.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable two-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms, air conditioning, a sea-facing terrace, and dramatic views toward the Tyrrhenian coast and mountains. The interiors are spacious, bright, and maintained rather than derelict, though the decor and bathroom finishes are dated. At €85,000 and roughly 500 meters from the sea, the combination of views, outdoor space, and immediate usability is highly compelling.
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.
- Interiors are clean and usable but visibly dated, with older fixtures and finishes.
- Energy class G may mean higher running costs.
- The listing does not clearly show the separate kitchenette or communal pool/garden areas; verify condition and fees.
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 81/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast of northern Calabria, with beaches on the Gulf of Policastro and the first ridges of the southern Apennines rising a short distance inland. The Lao River valley and the western edge of Pollino National Park are within about 15 km, giving a mix of coastal plain, rocky headlands and mountain backdrop in daily view. Scalea has a substantial historic centre on a hill, a seafront, marina services and summer-season tourism infrastructure. San Nicola Arcella and the Riviera dei Cedri coast are nearby, an area known for cedars, holiday beaches and small coves.
