Not before the basics are done

See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 for 60 sqm, the ask is €817/sqm; with a needs-renovation estimate of about €900/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,717/sqm, far above the Calabria townhouse baseline of €423/sqm. Central location near the sea helps, but the listing is very stale at 1,129 days on market and the description suggests rebuild potential rather than straightforward habitability.
More on the house and the area
There is a little leafy charm from the mature trees, but the property itself looks tired and neglected rather than dream-home beautiful. The listing text explicitly highlights demolition and reconstruction potential, which makes this feel more like a building plot/project than a real livable house. At this price near the sea it may interest investors, but the wow factor for actually living here is very low.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €21,000
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.

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.
