What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the €75,000 price benefits from a central coastal location and generous 149 m² layout, the apartment needs a complete renovation and the condominium also requires upgrades. Estimated all-in cost is about €255,000, or roughly €1,700/m², far above the €450/m² local comparison level.
More on the house and the area
A very large 149 sqm coastal apartment with three bedrooms, generous balconies, marble/terrazzo flooring, and a strong old-fashioned Italian family-home feel. It is not a dream-view property, and the dated kitchen, bathroom, finishes, and building condition mean this is a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in-ready bargain.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,200/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €87,000
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 apartment requires a complete renovation, despite being fully furnished and apparently usable today.
- The condominium building also needs refurbishment, which could mean additional costs and disruption.
- Urban outlook is mostly onto neighboring buildings; no meaningful sea view is shown, despite the coast being nearby.
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 61/100The cluster is in the low hills just inland from the Tyrrhenian coast, with short access to the beaches between Vibo Marina, Pizzo and Briatico. The Costa degli Dei lies along this stretch of coast, with Capo Vaticano farther south outside the immediate 15 km radius. Vibo Valentia is the nearest town of size and has the provincial services, a historic centre and the Norman-Swabian castle that houses the state archaeological museum. Pizzo is nearby and is known for its seafront town centre and Murat Castle. The area is known for olive groves, citrus, and the Tyrrhenian coastal landscape of small coves and sandy stretches backed by low hills.
