At €25,000 (€500/m²), the complete renovation could add about €45,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,400/m² versus €433/m² for comparable homes. The house is only 4 km from the sea and has a sound tiled roof, but the listing does not state its energy class.
More on the house and the area
This is a modest traditional Calabrian village house with an old tiled roof, original shutters, terrazzo flooring, and a fireplace that provide some character. However, the property is clearly a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in home, with widespread damp damage, cracked and peeling finishes, and dated facilities.
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, €900/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.
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.

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 78/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian side of Calabria near the Costa degli Dei, with the sea and the Gulf of Sant’Eufemia close by. Capo Vaticano and the coast south toward Tropea are within about 15 km, with rocky points, small coves and clear views toward the Aeolian Islands in clear weather. Tropea is the nearest town of note, with a historic centre on a cliff above the sea and a developed tourist waterfront. Vibo Valentia is the nearest larger town, with the province’s main services and rail connections at Vibo Marina. The area is known for beaches and for the red onion of Tropea IGP.
