What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly an asta immobiliare (judicial auction), which is a veto red flag regardless of the apparent sea-front price. The facts list 37 m² at €1,288/m², while the description claims 204 m², creating a major size contradiction.
More on the house and the area
This is a conventional 1980s terraced villa in a built-up residential area, with no visible historic character, garden, or sea view despite being near the coast. The main living area appears usable, but the cluttered garage/cellar and raw-looking service spaces make the property feel more functional than dream-worthy.
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€2,000 – €4,000
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.
- Auction purchase with potentially complex legal and documentation checks.
- Photos show heavily cluttered storage areas and unfinished-looking construction.
- No bathroom is listed in the facts, and no sea view or distinctive setting is visible.
- The advertised 37 sqm conflicts sharply with the description of 204 sqm total; verify the actual permitted and usable area.
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 66/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast of Calabria, with a long beach and the mouth area of the Assi river nearby. Inland, within this stretch of the Locride, the first hills of the Calabrian Serre rise not far from the coast, but the immediate setting is mainly coastal plain and low cultivated ground. Roccella Ionica is the nearest town of some size on this part of the coast, with a marina and rail connections. Monasterace is known for the archaeological area of ancient Kaulon, one of the main Greek sites on the Ionian side of Calabria.
