Listed as 'Renovated' but description explicitly states the property is 'allo stato grezzo' (bare/shell condition), 'attualmente da terminare', with no water or electrical systems installed. This is a direct contradiction. The property is not habitable and requires full finishing work. At 754 EUR/m2 vs baseline median 283 EUR/m2, the price is ~2.7x the regional median for an unfinished shell. The stated 130 sqm is only one of multiple levels (two main levels of ~130 sqm each plus basement and attic), so the effective per-sqm figure is ambiguous and the eur_m2 metric may be understating total area. Renovation to complete a bare shell (plumbing, electrical, all finishes) will run high, estimated ~800 EUR/m2. Panoramic sea view and 2000 sqm land add value, but the mislabeled condition and finishing burden make this a risky buy at this price.
More on the house and the area
The standout feature is the sweeping panoramic view over the hillside olive groves down to the Ionian coast and sea, visible from the balcony/terrace. The setting near a historic ruined structure adds character to the outlook. However, the property itself is an unfinished concrete shell: bare walls, exposed staircases, graffiti, and no plumbing or electrical. The 'Renovated' facts tag conflicts with the description's 'stato grezzo.' The wow here is almost entirely the view and location potential (~2000 sqm land, multiple levels, pool potential), not the current interior. At €98k for 130 sqm the price reflects the work required. A view-driven charmer for a buyer willing to complete construction.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €800/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€26,000 – €46,000
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.
- Description mislabels condition as 'Renovated' but property is grezzo/unfinished shell
- No water or electrical systems installed
- Interior is bare concrete with graffiti throughout
- Significant additional investment needed to complete

The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster is on the Ionian side of Calabria between the lower hills and the Gulf of Squillace. The Serre Calabresi rise inland to the west, giving the area a hill-to-mountain backdrop within this radius. The coast near Soverato and Montepaone has long sandy beaches on the Ionian Sea. Soverato is the nearest town of size, with a seafront, marina, rail station and everyday services. Catanzaro lies farther north and matters more for work and higher-level services than for the immediate landscape. This stretch of coast is known for beach tourism and for olive groves and mixed Mediterranean agriculture on the inland slopes.
