See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 for 142 sqm, the ask is €563/sqm; with a typical 'needs renovation' allowance of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,263/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €423/sqm, so it looks weak on value. The description supports a real dwelling with terrace/balcony, but it has been on the market 188 days, which is a clear negative signal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable townhouse rather than a shell, with kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and a large covered terrace area. But the house is visually very ordinary, with dated finishes and some visible wear, so the dream factor is low despite the generous space for the price. The terrace adds practical potential, yet the overall feel is functional renovation project more than beautiful Italian-home fantasy.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €50,000
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.

- Plain semi-central street setting with no meaningful view
- Interiors are dated and need renovation/refresh throughout
- Ground-floor exterior shows moisture/plaster damage
- Covered top terrace and spiral stair feel utilitarian rather than charming

The area around
Location score 57/100The cluster lies in the Gioia Tauro plain at the foot of the Aspromonte massif. The Petrace river runs through this part of the plain. Aspromonte National Park begins inland, with forested mountain slopes and higher ridges within this hinterland. The nearest ski area is Gambarie on Aspromonte, roughly an hour’s drive depending on the exact starting point. The nearest town of size is Gioia Tauro on the plain, with port and rail services, while Reggio Calabria is the main city for broader services and transport farther south. This area is known for olive groves and citrus cultivation across the plain.
