Why this price is what it is

At €75,000 (€322/m²), this entire 233 m² historic-center building is priced just below the local €327/m² benchmark, but the condition and renovation needs are not stated. The two levels, multiple rooms and two bathrooms offer substantial potential, though the listing is silent on habitability, systems and energy performance.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

A striking historic-center palazzo with an exceptionally characterful exposed-stone façade, ornate iron balconies, and handsome period doorways. Inside, it appears to be a large, roofed, functioning home with tiled floors, kitchen, fireplaces, and bathrooms, but it needs cosmetic updating and modernization rather than being a turnkey dream home.

Minimum to live in it350500/m²
€82,000 – €117,000

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€46,000 – €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.

What worries us about this house
  • Interiors are usable but dated and plain, with a very basic kitchen and bathroom.
  • The exposed stone façade, balconies, doors, and wiring may require maintenance or restoration.
  • No garden, terrace, or view is shown; access is through narrow historic-center streets.

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 68/100

Tiriolo stands on the Isthmus of Catanzaro between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian sides of Calabria, with the Sila visible to the northeast on clear days. The Corace valley is nearby, and the lower hills around the town are a mix of olive groves, woodland and cultivated slopes rather than a single protected landscape. Catanzaro is the nearest city of size, with the province’s main services, shops and hospital. The area is known in Calabria for the narrowest part of the peninsula and for broad views across both coasts from the higher ground around the town.
