Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€708/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €905/m² after allowing €200/m² for unclear condition—well above the €287/m² local benchmark. The sea is only about 4–5 km away and the house has a terrace, parking and 19 photos, but the listing does not state its condition, construction year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a bright, genuinely usable home with clean tiled interiors, a fitted kitchen, two bathrooms, a fireplace, terraces, heating, and plenty of space. Its strongest appeal is the open panoramic outlook toward rolling hills, greenery, and the village church, combined with 120 sqm plus a large cellar and garage at €85,000. It lacks dramatic historic character or a truly spectacular exterior, but it looks move-in ready rather than a renovation project.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 exterior is functional but dated, with exposed utility wiring and modest surrounding streetscape.
- The large 90 sqm cellar/taverna is a major bonus, but its condition and finish are not shown.
- The listing mentions a sea view, while the photos mainly prove open hill, village, and countryside views.
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 78/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian side of Calabria near the Costa degli Dei, with the sea and the Gulf of Sant’Eufemia close by. Capo Vaticano and the coast south toward Tropea are within about 15 km, with rocky points, small coves and clear views toward the Aeolian Islands in clear weather. Tropea is the nearest town of note, with a historic centre on a cliff above the sea and a developed tourist waterfront. Vibo Valentia is the nearest larger town, with the province’s main services and rail connections at Vibo Marina. The area is known for beaches and for the red onion of Tropea IGP.
