This is a 200 m² ruin requiring roughly €220,000 in renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,595/m² versus a local reference of €236/m². The 5,000 m² plot and location around 1.5 km from the sea add value, but the listing does not state whether the ruin is structurally recoverable or legally habitable.
More on the house and the area
The 5,000 m² of olive-covered land has genuinely appealing sea, mountain, and countryside views, with an old stone-and-tile farmhouse adding rustic character. However, the building is a true ruin with a collapsed roof section and no evidence of usable interiors, so this is a major reconstruction project rather than a home you could realistically live in soon.
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€79,000 – €117,000
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 listing explicitly describes the building as a ruin, with a major roof collapse and severe structural deterioration visible.
- It is not habitable and would require a complete rebuild, including interiors, utilities, bathroom, and kitchen.
- The large land parcel is attractive, but planning permissions and reconstruction feasibility should be verified.
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 82/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, on the Riviera dei Cedri. The sea is immediate, with a long waterfront and beaches around the town, and the small island of Isola di Cirella lies just offshore. The coastal strip here is backed at short distance by the first slopes of the Coastal Range, so sea and mountain relief sit close together. The Pollino massif and Pollino National Park are inland but beyond the immediate coastal radius, so they do not define the local setting. The nearest larger centre is Scalea along the same coast, while Paola is the main rail stop farther south on the Tyrrhenian line. Diamante is known for cedar cultivation in this part of Calabria and for its mural-painted old town.
