In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €381/m², the asking price is already above the local €259/m² benchmark; adding a standard habitable-home allowance brings the effective cost to about €581/m². The well-maintained, furnished two-unit layout, garden, garage/storage and tourist setting support the price, but the inland location and premium over comparable stock limit the deal strength.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable, generously sized two-level villa in the Sila forest, with a balcony, private garden, two fireplaces, and peaceful wooded surroundings. The interiors are clean, furnished, and functional, though dated and more practical than spectacular; at €61,000 for 160 m² and two independent living units, the value is the main dream factor.
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€11,000 – €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.
- The outdoor areas are somewhat rough and unfinished, with sandy ground and basic fencing.
- Interiors are clean and usable but dated rather than highly designed.
- Heating relies on a pellet stove, and the energy class is not provided.
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 77/100The cluster is in the Sila plateau, with wooded uplands and reservoir landscapes around Lake Ampollino and Lake Arvo within the wider area of the Sila. Part of this area falls within Sila National Park. The nearest ski lifts are those of Lorica on Lake Arvo and Villaggio Palumbo on Lake Ampollino, both roughly within a 30–45 minute drive depending on the exact starting point. Cotronei is the nearest small service town; for a larger centre with more shops and services, Crotone on the Ionian coast is the main reference. The area is known for pine and beech forests, upland lakes, summer tourism and winter snow on the Sila.
