What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a full ruin/complete restoration project: at €23,000 for 227 sqm the ask is only €101/sqm, but with an estimated €1,100/sqm renovation the effective cost is about €1,201/sqm, far above the €272/sqm baseline for cheap Calabria farmhouses. Sea proximity (1 km) and large size help, but the numbers only work if rebuild costs are much lower than typical or the usable area is larger than the facts suggest.
More on the house and the area
The sea-and-mountain outlook over the greenery is the one real wow element, and the price is undeniably low for the size. But the house itself is a true ruinous project: filthy, stripped interiors, no usable services, and major renovation needed throughout. This is more development opportunity than dream-ready 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€90,000 – €133,000
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.
- Described as a 'rudere' and clearly a full rebuild-level renovation.
- No functioning kitchen or bathroom is visible.
- Upper parts/roof terrace and some structures look exposed and weathered.
- Outdoor space is overgrown and needs major clearance.
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 55/100This cluster lies in the built-up area of Reggio Calabria on the Strait of Messina, with the Aspromonte massif rising inland within the same local landscape. The Strait is the defining water feature, and the nearest beaches are on the Ionian and Tyrrhenian sides of the metropolitan area. Aspromonte National Park begins inland and frames daily views from the city side, but from this location a resident lives primarily in an urban fabric rather than in open mountain country. Reggio Calabria is the main city of the area and has a seafront, ferry links across the strait, the National Archaeological Museum with the Riace Bronzes, and the main services of a provincial capital. The area is known for the strait setting between Calabria and Sicily and for bergamot cultivation in the wider province.
