What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- On the market for a long time

At €89,000 for 190 sqm, the ask is €468/sqm; assuming habitable condition, a light renovation budget of about €200/sqm brings the effective cost to roughly €668/sqm, far above the Calabria villa baseline of €286/sqm. It has also been on the market for 1,444 days, a strong rejection signal, and the description suggests a two-unit building while the facts list only 1 bath/3 rooms, so there is some data inconsistency.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, fully built and clearly habitable detached house with generous size and long balconies, so it feels like a real home rather than a project. The exterior is pleasant and sunny, but the interiors are plain 1990s spaces with little character and no proven standout views. At this price for 190 sqm, the value helps, but the dream factor is more practical than magical.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €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.
- Interiors look very basic and dated rather than atmospheric.
- No sea or scenic view is shown despite the coast being nearby.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large two-level building; layout/details may need checking.
- Outdoor space is mainly balconies and small planted edges, not a real private garden.
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 62/100The area sits on the southern Ionian side of the Aspromonte foothills, with steep inland ridges and short valleys running down to the sea. The Ionian coast is nearby, with the shoreline around Bianco and Bovalino forming the nearest daily reference. Aspromonte National Park lies inland in the massif above this stretch of coast. The nearest town of some size is Locri on the Ionian coast, with everyday services, rail access and the archaeological area of Locri Epizefiri farther up the coast. This part of the Reggio Calabria Ionian side is known for bergamot cultivation and for small hill villages above the coastal strip.
