In the listingNeeds renovation- On the market for a long time
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Price is €45,000 for 150 sqm (€300/sqm), but with partial renovation at about €450/sqm the effective cost is about €750/sqm, well above the Calabria townhouse baseline of €423/sqm. It is habitable now with utilities active and only 4 km from the sea, but 247 days on market is a clear negative and caps confidence.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: bathroom, kitchen, floors, windows and furnished rooms are all in place, so it looks habitable now. The downside is that the aesthetic is fairly ordinary and dated, with little visible historic charm or wow-factor setting. At €45k for 150 sqm it has strong practical value, but more 'solid starter home' than dream-property 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.
Our read of the photos, €450/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €29,000
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.

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 immediately inland. The Strait is the defining water feature here, with Sicily and Mount Etna visible across the water in clear conditions. The Aspromonte National Park begins inland above the coastal strip. The nearest substantial mountain access is the Gambarie area in Aspromonte, roughly an hour by road, with local ski facilities in season. Reggio Calabria itself is the main city of the area and has a seafront, ferry links, rail connections, the National Archaeological Museum of Magna Graecia, and the airport serving the strait. The area is known for the strait landscape and for bergamot cultivation in the province.
