What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €25,000 for 348 sqm the ask looks extremely low, but the description says the main house is completely to renovate or demolish and includes two adjoining ruins plus agricultural land, so using about €1,100/m² puts the effective cost near €1,172/m² versus a €423/m² baseline. Near-sea location helps, but access only by small vehicles and the mixed package of house/ruins/agricultural land make this a high-risk project rather than a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
There is some appeal in the private courtyard, extra land and the very low price, with a rustic southern-Calabria feel. But the photos and description show a heavily compromised property: one basic habitable-looking kitchen area, plus derelict outbuildings and serious renovation needs. This reads as a redevelopment project rather than a beautiful, usable home to move into.
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€138,000 – €204,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Main house and adjacent volumes are completely to renovate or possibly demolish
- Two parts are effectively ruderi/shell spaces, so this is more project than home

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.
