What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 for 95 sqm, the asking price is €474/sqm, essentially identical to the local baseline of €478/sqm, so there is no clear discount signal. The description only says 'abitazione' in a quiet area and gives no evidence of renovation or habitability, so I assume a generic renovation need (~€700/sqm), which makes the effective price ordinary rather than a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home rather than a shell: it has a fitted kitchen, bedrooms, and two functioning bathrooms, so livability is a clear plus. But the photos show very ordinary, dated interiors with no visible historic character, standout exterior, or actual view from the property. At €45k for 95 sqm it feels good value, yet the dream factor is modest.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€19,000 – €34,000
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.
- No exterior of the actual house is shown
- Interiors look dated and fairly plain rather than characterful
- Tourism/nature images are area marketing, not property features
- No proven terrace, garden, or real view from the home
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 72/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast at the foot of the Aspromonte massif. The Bonamico and La Verde fiumare descend from the mountains to this stretch of coast, and Aspromonte National Park begins inland a short distance west. The nearest ski area is Gambarie d’Aspromonte, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours by road depending on the exact starting point. Locri is the nearest larger town, with hospitals, secondary schools, rail services and the archaeological area of Locri Epizefiri. Gerace, within the same wider area, is one of the best-known hill towns of the Locride and is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. This part of the Ionian side of Reggio Calabria is known for bergamot further south, olive groves, citrus and the Grecanic-Aspromonte hinterland.
