At €295/m² before works, this large €87,322 palazzo is near the local benchmark, but allowing about €200/m² for a merely habitable property brings the effective cost to roughly €495/m². The listing is unusually vague and reports zero bathrooms, so the claimed condition and actual livability need verification.
More on the house and the area
A large, cheerful yellow palazzo with multiple balconies, sound-looking façades, and a practical town location. Its 296 sqm at this price is compelling, but the home lacks distinctive historic character or a proven view, and the absence of interior photos keeps it below the dream-home tier.
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€19,000 – €33,000
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.
- No interior photographs are provided, so the claimed habitable condition cannot be verified.
- Bathrooms, layout, utilities, and exact maintenance needs are unclear.
- Dense urban setting with no visible private garden or meaningful outdoor land.
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 53/100The area around Cutro is the inland edge of the Marchesato crotonese, with open agricultural country on low rolling ground and broader plain stretches. The Ionian coast is about 11 km away, with the marine area around Le Castella and the Capo Rizzuto shoreline within roughly this radius from the cluster. Crotone is the nearest larger town, with full services, a port and the archaeological museum linked to Magna Graecia finds from the area. The wider area is known for cereal farming and for its historical connection with the Aragonese period and the figure of Giovanni dalle Bande Nere through the traditional account of his death near here.
