What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is not a farmhouse but an unfinished mansarda sold allo stato grezzo; at 525 €/m2 plus about 1,100 €/m2 to complete, the effective cost is roughly 1,625 €/m2, far above the 246 €/m2 baseline. The ad is also inconsistent with the facts (type mismatch, only 1 photo, vague partial description), which weakens confidence.
More on the house and the area
This is being sold as an unfinished attic apartment with internal partitions in place, not a ready home. The terraces could add appeal and the price is low, but with no real photos and a grezzo condition, it reads as a project rather than a dream-to-live-in property.
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€32,000 – €47,000
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.
- Only a placeholder image is available, so visual appeal cannot be verified
- Property is explicitly in unfinished 'stato grezzo' condition
- Interior fit-out, finishes, kitchen and bathroom completion are likely needed
- Third-floor mansarda usability may depend on building access and shared-block condition
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 57/100The area lies on the inland side of the Costa degli Dei around Vibo Valentia, with low hills of olive groves and fields descending toward the Tyrrhenian. The Mesima valley is nearby inland, and the Calabrian Serre rise farther to the east. The nearest coast is the Tyrrhenian at Vibo Marina and the Gulf of Sant’Eufemia. Vibo Valentia is the nearest town of size, with full services and a historic upper town on a hill. Tropea and the better-known cliff coast are farther up the shore, useful for outings but outside the immediate landscape. The area is known mainly for ordinary Calabrian hill agriculture and for access to the Vibo-Tropea stretch of coast.
