The €90,000 asking price plus roughly €91,000 for renovation implies about €181,000 total, or €1,392/m²—far above the local comparison level of €287/m². Being only 1 km from the sea, with a garden and independent access, adds value, but the substantial renovation need and missing condition details make this weak at the current price.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, livable independent house with generous tiled terraces, a private citrus-filled garden, and attractive mountain views near the sea. The interiors are dated rather than stylish, and the advertised renovation need keeps it below dream-home territory, but it is clearly much more than a bare project.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.
- The listing says renovation work is needed, though the house appears roofed, finished, furnished, and usable.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 130 sqm, three-bedroom home.
- The exterior road and surrounding infrastructure look basic; utilities and legal status are not confirmed.
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 area lies on the southern slopes of the Aspromonte massif above the Ionian side of the Reggio Calabria province. The Amendolea valley is the main landscape feature here, with steep dry hills, ravines and small settlements spread along the inland roads. Part of the Aspromonte National Park is within this inland zone. The nearest larger city is Reggio Calabria, which provides full services, port links and rail connections. This part of Calabria is known for Greek-Calabrian villages and for bergamot cultivation on the lower coastal belt.
