This 252 m² villa is explicitly offered by judicial auction (“asta”), so it fails the catalog’s eligibility rules regardless of its attractive €194/m² asking price versus €255/m² for comparable homes. The description calls it habitable, but auction purchase risks and procedures make it unsuitable for this deal category.
More on the house and the area
A remarkably large, beautifully furnished villa with high ceilings, decorative moldings, fireplaces, timber beams, multiple living areas, and polished kitchens. The listing describes it as habitable with heating, balcony, terrace, and a very low price per square meter, making it feel like a genuine bargain rather than a renovation shell. The main uncertainty is that the exterior and broader views are not well documented, and the bathroom information is inconsistent.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- Auction purchase: legal, occupancy, and bidding conditions require careful verification.
- The gallery shows attractive, furnished interiors but provides little evidence of the exterior, roof, or surrounding setting.
- Bathroom count is listed as zero in the data, despite the gallery showing at least one bathroom; confirm the actual layout and utilities.
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 area sits in the foothills of the Sila, with wooded uplands and cultivated slopes around the Crati valley side. The Mucone river basin is in this part of the province, and the eastern edge of the Sila National Park is within the wider mountain area around Acri. The nearest larger town is Cosenza, which has the main rail and service functions for the province. Acri is known locally for its hill town setting and for the sanctuary and convent linked to Sant'Angelo d'Acri.
