The description says the house is 'interamente da demolire', so this is effectively a rebuild project rather than a livable renovation; with roughly €1,100/m² rebuild-level cost, the effective cost is far above the €423/m² baseline despite the low ask. It is also 232 days on market, which is a negative signal.
More on the house and the area
The citrus garden, terrace and hillside/sea glimpses add some lifestyle appeal, and the price-per-square-meter looks striking on paper. But the photos and description point to a severely compromised structure that is effectively a demolition-and-rebuild project, not a usable home. This is dreamy land value more than a dream house.
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€112,000 – €166,000
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.

- Not a livable home in current condition
- Outdoor areas are attractive but the house itself is a rebuild project
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.
