Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 80 m², the effective cost is about €1,013/m² after allowing €200/m² for a ready-to-use home, versus a local reference of €450/m². Being steps from the sea, furnished, air-conditioned, and including terrace and parking adds value, but the description refers to two apartments while the listing facts describe one, so the price and included property should be clarified.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable seaside apartment with a large covered terrace, sunny courtyard, blue shutters, and glimpses of the sea. The rooms are complete, furnished, air-conditioned, and ready for use, though the decor and bathroom are dated rather than stylish. Its immediate proximity to the beach and €65,000 price give it strong practical appeal, especially as a holiday home or rental.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- The home is in a built-up residential area, so the sea view is partial rather than panoramic.
- The listing description refers to two apartments, while the facts specify one 80 sqm apartment; confirm exactly what the €65,000 price includes.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated, especially the kitchen, bathroom, furnishings, and exterior finishes.
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 61/100This is on the Ionian coast of Calabria, with a long flat shoreline and the lower hills of the Sila Greca rising inland within a short distance. The Trionto river reaches the sea here. The nearest substantial town is Corigliano-Rossano, which has full services and the historic upper towns of Corigliano and Rossano. Rossano is known for the Codex Purpureus, on UNESCO’s Memory of the World register, and for its old hilltop centre. The wider area is known for clementines and olive groves on the coastal plain.
