What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €59,000 price equals €492/m², about 14% above the Calabria townhouse baseline of €433/m², but the home is reportedly renovated and needs only minor completion work. Sea views at 3 km, garage, 16 photos, and a 13-day listing support the price, though the claimed condition is not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, renovated townhouse with a spectacular sea-and-hills panorama, especially from the upper floors. The wood-beamed mansard, fireplace, balconies, tiled floors, and traditional furnishings give it real Italian character, while the exterior itself is attractive but fairly ordinary within a dense village setting.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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€4,000 – €7,000
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 home is spread over multiple levels, which may be less convenient for some buyers.
- The listing notes some minor completion and personalization work remains.
- The garage appears to have separate access, with the internal connection only a possible future improvement.
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 62/100The cluster sits on the Tyrrhenian side of Calabria with the Gulf of Sant’Eufemia coast within a few kilometres. The coastal strip here is backed inland by the first slopes of the Calabrian Apennines, with mixed farmed hills rather than high mountain scenery at this exact point. The nearest sizeable town is Lamezia Terme, which has the main services for the area and the region’s principal airport and rail junction. This stretch of coast is known for long beaches and for steady wind conditions used for kitesurfing around Gizzeria Lido.
