What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The asking price is very low at €167/m², but the house is explicitly "interamente da ristrutturare", so I estimate about €1,100/m² renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,267/m² versus a low-stock baseline of €264/m². The quiet green setting near Gambarie is a small positive, but with only 1 photo and almost no usable layout data, this looks cheap upfront rather than a strong deal.
More on the house and the area
The description suggests a quiet green setting near Gambarie, which gives it some nature appeal. But with no usable photos and a fully-to-be-renovated interior, this reads as a low-cost project rather than a home you could realistically move into soon.
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€36,000 – €53,000
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 one unavailable photo, so visual appeal cannot be verified
- Entirely to be renovated; current livability is unclear
- No bathroom or bedroom shown/listed, suggesting a bare project
- Condition details like roof, utilities, and interiors are not proven
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 82/100The cluster is in the Aspromonte massif. The Fiumara del Gallico and other steep Aspromonte valleys cut the slopes here, and the Strait of Messina is nearby. Aspromonte National Park is within the local area. The nearest ski lifts are at Gambarie, about 15 minutes by road. The nearest city of size is Reggio Calabria, which has full city services, port links and museums. The area is known for mountain forest, beech and pine woods, and for the high southern Calabrian slopes above the strait.
