It is a 500 sqm two-level rudere, so I treated it as to-restore at about €1,100/m² renovation; effective cost is roughly €596,000 total, or about €1,192/m² versus a Calabria townhouse baseline of €423/m². The low asking price is outweighed by the massive rebuild budget, though being 4 km from the sea helps slightly; it has also been listed for 2,108 days, which is a strong negative signal.
More on the house and the area
This is a very large old village property with some faded historic character and a useful private yard. But the listing itself calls it a rudere, and the photos show a worn, largely stripped structure that needs substantial work before it feels like a real home. At this price and size it has project appeal more than wow-to-live-in appeal.
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€198,000 – €293,000
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 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.
