What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly says 'rudere' (ruin), so this is a full restoration case at roughly €1,100/m²; effective cost is about €1,700/m² (€600 price + €1,100 works), far above the €250/m² baseline. Sea view and 3 km to the coast help, but a ruin-level project is a major red flag and not a strong value at this ask.
More on the house and the area
The sea-and-mountain setting is genuinely lovely, and the little stone farmhouse has rustic character with a romantic hillside feel. But the photos and description clearly show a rudere: cracked masonry, neglected grounds, and no evidence of livable interiors. It has dream-project appeal more than real move-in-home 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€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- Declared as a rudere, so this is a full restoration project rather than a usable home.
- Visible major structural cracking and very rough exterior condition.
- Overgrown land will need clearing and ongoing maintenance.
- No interior photos, so utilities and actual habitability are unproven.
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 68/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast with direct access to the shoreline of this part of the Riviera dei Cedri. The Coastal Range of western Calabria rises immediately inland, so the setting is a short strip of coast backed by steep hills. The lower valley of the Torrente Malpertuso and nearby coastal ravines cut into the slopes around the settlement. Paola is the nearest larger town in daily use on this stretch of coast, with rail connections, shops and services. This part of the coast is known for beach settlements and for the Arbëreshë presence in some inland communities, including Falconara Albanese.
