See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 plus an estimated €70,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,050/m² versus €259/m² for comparable homes, so the low asking price is largely consumed by the works. The listing describes a rural building needing renovation and gives conflicting sea distances of 2 km and 6 km.
More on the house and the area
The sea views, wooded hillside setting, mature vegetation, and approximately 2,000 m² of land give this rural property genuine lifestyle appeal. However, the house itself looks like a dark, heavily weathered renovation project with damaged finishes, old fixtures, and no convincing evidence that it is currently habitable.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- The building appears seriously neglected and needs substantial renovation, not just cosmetic work.
- No usable interior living spaces, kitchen, or bathroom are shown in the gallery.
- Access is via steep narrow paths, and the roof, terraces, utilities, and structural condition require careful inspection.
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 of Calabria, with beaches directly on the sea and the Coastal Range of the Paolana Catena rising a short distance inland. The area is associated with the thermal waters of Terme Luigiane on the Acquappesa–Guardia Piemontese side. Guardia Piemontese, just inland, is known for its Occitan Waldensian heritage and is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The nearest larger town is Paola, which has rail connections, services and the Sanctuary of San Francesco di Paola. The coast here is part of the Riviera dei Cedri, known for citrus cultivation and seaside resorts.
