Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €843/m², plus a modest €200/m² allowance for the unspecified interior condition, the effective cost is about €1,043/m²—well above the local benchmark of €458/m². The 700 m sea proximity, terrace, parking and 30 photos add appeal, but the listing does not state the apartment’s actual interior condition and its G energy rating may imply higher running costs.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable three-bedroom apartment with a functioning kitchen, two bathrooms, multiple bedrooms, and a large sunny terrace. It is close to the beach and offers excellent space for €59,000, but the dated décor, urban outlook, and lack of a dramatic view keep it in the charming rather than dream-home category.
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 and bathroom finishes are noticeably dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
- The apartment is on the fourth and top floor; elevator availability is not shown.
- The terrace overlooks neighboring buildings rather than a scenic sea view.
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.
