What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description says "da restauro" and mentions two old ground-floor buildings totaling about 220 sqm, so this is a full restoration case; using about €1,100/sqm, the effective cost is far above the Calabria farmhouse baseline of €272/sqm. At €89,999 asking for 140 sqm in the listing (€643/sqm) near the sea looks appealing, but the sparse listing (2 photos) and mismatch between 140 sqm in the listing and 220 sqm in the text weaken confidence.
More on the house and the area
This is an old independent property with some size and courtyard space, but the photos show a very tired, plain street presence rather than a dream-home setting. The listing itself says it needs restoration, and with no interior images there is no evidence of a usable, livable house today. At this price and size it may interest project buyers, but the wow factor is low.
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€55,000 – €82,000
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.
- Full restoration is needed; this is not move-in ready.
- Only exterior photos are provided, so interior condition and habitability are unproven.
- Urban setting is plain, with unfinished neighboring blocks and no evident view.
- Outdoor areas look neglected and may need major clearing/reworking.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Reggio Calabria on the Strait of Messina, with the Aspromonte massif rising inland within a short distance. The coast here is the urban waterfront rather than a natural beach landscape. Aspromonte National Park begins inland and defines the immediate hinterland of the city. Reggio Calabria is the nearest city and has full urban services, a ferry connection across the strait, and the National Archaeological Museum of Magna Graecia. The area is known for views across the strait to Sicily and for bergamot cultivation in the wider Reggio area.
