In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€400/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €90,000 or €600/m² after modest habitable-home updates, well above the €255/m² local comparison level. The 150 m² three-floor villa is only 1 km from the sea, which supports the price, but the premium is substantial.
More on the house and the area
A substantial 150 sqm, three-level house with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, functioning kitchen, tiled floors, and generous balconies appears genuinely habitable rather than a renovation shell. Its main appeal is the unusually low price and proximity to the sea, but the architecture and interiors are practical and dated rather than especially beautiful or dreamlike.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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 fully usable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- No garden or meaningful sea view is shown; the property is in a dense residential street.
- Exterior balconies, awnings, and some wall finishes show signs of age and maintenance needs.
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 71/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast of Calabria, with the sea directly at hand. Inland, within a short distance, the first slopes of the Aspromonte massif rise behind the coastal strip, and the lower valleys and fiumare cut down toward the coast. The nearest larger centre is Locri, which has everyday services, a hospital and a railway station on the Ionian line. This part of the coast is known for citrus cultivation, especially bergamot, and for the remains of Magna Graecia around Locri Epizefiri.
