At €58,000 for 142 m², the property requires a complete renovation; estimated all-in cost is about €214,000, or €1,508/m², versus a local reference level of €285/m². The sea is only 4 km away and there are 36 photos, but the legal status and permitted use of the 81 m² annex are not stated.
More on the house and the area
The house has a pleasant sunny exterior, a very large covered terrace, hillside glimpses and some garden/olive-tree space. However, the interiors are largely unfinished and utilitarian, with raw floors and construction work evident, so this is a substantial renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
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€24,000 – €36,000
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.
- Advertised as requiring a complete renovation.
- Interior photos show unfinished concrete floors, exposed brickwork, cracks and unfinished installations.
- No finished kitchen or clearly usable bathroom is shown in the gallery.
- The 81 sqm ground-floor space appears more like a garage/storage shell than living accommodation.
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 67/100The area lies between the Ionian coast and the first ridges of the Pollino foothills. The Ionian Sea is nearby, with the long beach stretch of Rocca Imperiale Marina and the coastal plain around the Sinni valley just to the north. The Pollino massif is inland to the west and northwest, but the national park core is beyond the immediate 15 km radius. The nearest larger centres for services are Policoro to the north and Corigliano-Rossano farther south; for everyday needs the local reference is the small coastal strip and the historic hill village. Rocca Imperiale is known for its hilltop historic centre and Swabian castle, and the area for lemon cultivation, including the Limone di Rocca Imperiale PGI.
