What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €20,000 for 50 sqm, the ask is €400/sqm, but with a typical renovation estimate of about €700/sqm for 'da ristrutturare', the effective cost is roughly €1,100/sqm. That sits well above the low internal Calabria country-house baseline of €478/sqm, but the small independent house in a historic village center and the low entry price keep it in the good-project range.
More on the house and the area
The village setting is the real appeal: a tiny independent house in an authentic Calabrian hill borgo, not far from the sea, and the price is undeniably tempting. The actual home appears structurally there and usable in basic terms, but the beauty shown indoors is mostly render-based; in reality it is a simple, dated house needing real refreshment and some renovation rather than a finished dream home.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.
- Listing uses renders; actual interior is plain and dated
- Needs renovation/modernization before feeling truly comfortable
- Very small home at about 50 sqm
- Historic-centre access and parking may be limited
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 61/100The area sits in the inland hills above the Ionian side of the Locride, with short valleys and ridges that drop toward the coast. The Torbido river valley is the main landscape feature in this part of the province. Aspromonte rises inland to the west, but the main mountain mass is beyond the immediate area. The nearest larger centre is Locri on the coast, which has everyday services and rail links along the Ionian line. Gerace, a few kilometres inland, is a major historic hill town with a cathedral and a large old centre, and it is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. This part of the Locride is known for olive groves and for hill towns set above the Ionian plain.
