At €35,000 (€226/m²), this 155 m² rustic property needs an estimated €1100/m² to become a home, putting the effective cost near €926/m² versus a local benchmark of €236/m². The 1 km sea proximity is attractive, but the listing does not state the current condition, utilities, or habitability.
More on the house and the area
This is a large 155 sqm concrete shell in a residential neighborhood, but the photos show raw floors, unfinished walls, exposed services and no livable rooms. Its proximity to the sea is potentially useful, yet there is little visual character or setting appeal, and it is a major renovation project rather than a home someone could move into.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€61,000 – €91,000
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.
- Bare structural shell requiring a complete fit-out, including floors, plastering, windows/doors, kitchen and bathrooms.
- No finished living spaces or usable interior amenities are shown; substantial construction and utility work will be needed.
- Dense, ordinary urban surroundings with no visible sea, mountain or countryside view.
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 72/100The Tyrrhenian coast is at the door here, with a long seafront backed immediately by the Coastal Range of Calabria. The lower Savuto valley reaches the coast in this area. Amantea has a substantial historic centre on and below a hill, a marina and rail links on the coast. The old town is known for the remains of its castle above the town and for a long beach on the Tyrrhenian.
