What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €12,000 (€300/m²), the 40 m² townhouse needs a complete renovation estimated at €1,100/m², bringing the effective cost to about €1,400/m² versus a €433/m² Calabria townhouse baseline. The low purchase price is outweighed by the extensive works and limited 2-photo listing.
More on the house and the area
This is a very small old-town townhouse with some rustic historic character in its exposed stone and weathered facade. However, it is clearly a full renovation project rather than a usable home, with no confirmed interior appeal, views, garden, or move-in-ready features.
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€16,000 – €23,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Complete renovation is explicitly required, with visibly deteriorated masonry, plaster, balcony, and corrugated roof covering.
- Only exterior photos are provided, so the interior condition, utilities, and structural soundness cannot be verified.
- The listing states a bathroom, but the facts show zero bathrooms; this should be clarified.
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 57/100The cluster lies in the Gioia Tauro plain at the foot of the Aspromonte massif. The Petrace river runs through this part of the plain. Aspromonte National Park begins inland, with forested mountain slopes and higher ridges within this hinterland. The nearest ski area is Gambarie on Aspromonte, roughly an hour’s drive depending on the exact starting point. The nearest town of size is Gioia Tauro on the plain, with port and rail services, while Reggio Calabria is the main city for broader services and transport farther south. This area is known for olive groves and citrus cultivation across the plain.
