At €49,000 (€293/m²), the price is close to the local €288/m² benchmark before works. Dated finishes, utilities needing reconnection, no heating and about €700/m² in renovation needs make the effective cost roughly €993/m²; the sea is within 5 km, but the listing does not state the energy class or full technical condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable village house with finished floors, a functioning bathroom, internal stairs, balconies, and a beautiful green mountain backdrop. Traditional details, tiled floors, wood paneling, stone lanes, and rooftop views give it real Italian-borgo character, although the interiors are dated and the utilities and heating need attention.
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€33,000 – €59,000
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.
- Water and electricity need reactivation, and there is no heating system.
- Interior finishes are dated and likely need cosmetic updating.
- The home is reached by a pedestrian route with steps; parking is about 30 meters away.
- The listing shows only about 72 m² of finished living space, with the remaining area in attic and storage rooms.
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 67/100The Tyrrhenian coast is within the local landscape here, with beaches and the shoreline around Cittadella del Capo and the Bonifati marina area. Inland, the first ridges of the Calabrian Coastal Range rise quickly behind the coast. The lower valley of the Fiume Esaro is nearby. Belvedere Marittimo is the nearest larger coastal town, with a seafront, marina and a substantial historic centre on the hill above. This stretch of coast is known for small seaside resorts backed by steep inland hills and for citron cultivation in the upper Tyrrhenian part of Calabria.
