In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €35,000 asking price is slightly below the local €400/m² reference, and the house is described as habitable with a garage, cellar, fireplace, balcony and panoramic views. Allowing about €200/m² for updates brings the effective cost to roughly €589/m², so this is a solid but not exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable 90 sqm house with a striking mountain-and-valley outlook, balcony, usable kitchen and bathroom, plus surrounding olive trees and vines. It is not a character-rich historic home, but it offers a real, functional base with outdoor land and strong scenery rather than a renovation shell.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Dated interiors and exterior finishes would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The external metal staircase and some railings look utilitarian rather than polished.
- Heating and broader utility systems are not clearly shown in the gallery.
- The home sits close to a road, which may mean some traffic noise.
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 58/100The cluster is in the coastal foothills between the Tyrrhenian and the Catena Costiera, with wooded ridges and cultivated slopes above the lower valleys. The Tyrrhenian coast is within about 15 km, with the shoreline around Amantea as the nearest main seaside strip. The lower Savuto valley is nearby. Amantea is the nearest town of size, with everyday services, a seafront and rail connections on the Tyrrhenian line. This part of the coast is known for hill villages above the sea and for mixed olive groves, orchards and woodland on the inland slopes.
