See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 (€464/m²), the 140 m² townhouse is described as a raw, unfinished space, implying roughly €154,000 in renovation and an effective cost near €1,564/m²—far above the local €433/m² reference. Its location 150 metres from the sea is attractive, but the listing does not say whether it is currently habitable or provide construction and energy details.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished townhouse with a particularly appealing leafy private courtyard and covered outdoor dining area, only 150 metres from the sea. The house appears usable today, with a working kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and solid tiled floors, but it is dated and shows moisture-related deterioration rather than being a polished dream home.
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€55,000 – €82,000
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.
- Visible damp staining and peeling plaster need investigation and repair.
- Interiors are dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 140 m², three-bedroom home.
- The listing description suggests some transformation or renovation may be expected; verify utilities and year-round usability.
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 72/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast of Calabria, with beaches on the Gulf of Taranto at the door. Inland, within a short distance, the ground rises into the lower Sila foothills and the wider Sila landscape is the main mountain backdrop of this stretch of coast. The nearest town of size is Rossano-Corigliano to the north, which provides the larger services, rail links and hospitals for this coast. This part of the Ionian Cosentino is known for citrus, olive groves and summer seaside settlements.
