See what needs doing and what each job costs
The facts say 'Renovated', but the description clearly says the unit is allo stato rustico and must be finished and divided, so I treated it as a full restore at about €1,100/m². That puts the effective cost around €1,600/m² (€70,000 + ~€154,000 works on 140 m²), far above the Calabria farmhouse baseline of €272/m²; plus it has been on the market for 359 days.
More on the house and the area
This offers a large private roof terrace and a useful amount of space in a central Reggio Calabria location, but the photos show an unfinished shell rather than a home. Interiors are raw brick-and-concrete, cluttered, and completely unfit for living without major works. The terrace adds some appeal, yet the overall wow factor is limited by the very basic condition and ordinary surroundings.
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€55,000 – €82,000
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.
- Bare-shell rustico interior with no finished rooms, kitchen or bathroom visible
- Needs full fit-out and internal division before it is realistically livable
- Urban outlook is plain, with no meaningful sea or scenic view shown
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.
