See what needs doing and what each job costs
This €78,890 villa is explicitly being sold through a judicial auction, which carries legal, timing, financing, and occupancy risks despite its €263/m² price. It is described as habitable, but buyers should review the tribunal documentation before considering it.
More on the house and the area
A large, clearly lived-in two-storey villa with a generous paved courtyard, garden space, garage, terrace and practical interiors. It is habitable rather than a shell, but the dated finishes, clutter, poor photography and ordinary suburban setting limit the dream-home appeal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €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.
- Auction purchase requires legal and occupancy/document checks.
- Interiors are usable but dated and somewhat cluttered, with likely cosmetic modernization needed.
- The listing states 0 bathrooms, so bathroom provision and condition should be verified.
- The exterior and courtyard show wear, unfinished-looking surfaces, and limited architectural character.
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 area sits on the Ionian coast of the Locride, with long beaches on the Gulf of Squillace and the lower slopes of the Aspromonte massif rising inland. The Torbido valley opens just inland of Siderno, and the Ionian coast road and railway run along the shore. Parco Nazionale dell’Aspromonte begins farther inland beyond the first belt of coastal and foothill settlements, so it is relevant for access but not inside the immediate landscape. The nearest larger centre is Locri, adjoining Siderno, with everyday services and the archaeological area of Locri Epizefiri nearby. Gerace stands on the hill a few kilometres inland, with its cathedral and historic centre, and it is a member of I Borghi più belli d’Italia. This stretch of coast is known for citrus groves, olive cultivation and the Greek-Calabrian historic area of the Locride.
