At €50,000 (€510/m²), the apartment is slightly above the local €458/m² benchmark before works. Described as needing renovation, estimated total cost rises to about €118,600 (€1,210/m²), making it weak value despite the historic building and balcony.
More on the house and the area
This is a generously sized apartment in a genuinely atmospheric historic palazzo, with attractive period façades, cobbled lanes, balconies, and a strong old-town setting. Inside, it is roofed, floored, and has a usable bathroom, but the plain interiors, visible cracking, clutter, and stated renovation needs place it firmly in the project category rather than the dream-home band.
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€19,000 – €34,000
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 apartment is explicitly sold as needing renovation and is currently cluttered, making its immediate livability difficult to judge.
- Visible wall cracking and dated finishes warrant a technical inspection before purchase.
- No kitchen is shown, and the central historic setting offers limited privacy and no evident open 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 47/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Catanzaro, on ridges and valleys that descend toward the Ionian side of Calabria, with the Gulf of Squillace on the coast nearby. The Sila range lies to the north, but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Catanzaro is the nearest town of size and has the full services of a provincial capital, including a historic centre on the hill and newer districts spreading across the surrounding slopes. This part of Calabria is known for hill-to-coast terrain and olive-growing, but within the immediate radius it is mainly an urban and peri-urban setting rather than a distinct named landscape.
