What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Completely to renovate at about €39,000 for 240 sqm means an effective cost around €1,262/sqm including roughly €1,100/sqm works. The local baseline is weak (only 17 comps, €423/sqm), so this looks plausible rather than exceptional: large detached country house with 2,000 sqm land, but full restoration keeps the deal in the good-not-diamond range.
More on the house and the area
The old farmhouse has a romantic, ivy-covered exterior and a decent plot with countryside and mountain backdrop, so it has some dream value from the outside. But the listing explicitly says it is completely to be renovated, and the photos do not show a usable interior, so this is a project rather than a home you could realistically live in soon. At €39k for 240 sqm it has bargain appeal, but condition keeps the score capped.
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€95,000 – €140,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated
- No interior photos to prove current livability
- Overgrown grounds and neglected exterior suggest substantial works
- Nearby houses and utility poles reduce the romantic isolation
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 52/100The cluster lies on the lower slopes west of Cosenza, in the valley system that opens toward the Crati plain, with the Coastal Range rising a short distance to the west. The Savuto valley and the first Tyrrhenian-facing mountains are within the local hinterland, and the Sila massif is visible farther east beyond Cosenza but outside the immediate landscape. Cosenza is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services, a historic centre, and the urban area shared with Rende. The area is known mainly as the inland edge between the Cosenza urban basin and the Tyrrhenian side of northern Calabria, with mixed hillside settlement and access routes across the province.
