What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 plus an estimated €200/m² habitable-home allowance, the effective cost is about €1,245/m², nearly 3× Calabria's €433/m² baseline. Sea-front Scilla location and sea views add value, but the unexplained rent-to-own structure and substantial premium limit the deal quality.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable and well-kept townhouse with a fitted kitchen, modern bathroom, air conditioning, furnishings, and usable balconies. It is practical and move-in ready, but the interiors are fairly ordinary and the dense exterior offers little visual drama; the main lifestyle appeal depends on the claimed sea proximity and unseen view.
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€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 advertised sea view and terrace are not clearly shown in the photo gallery.
- Compact three-level layout with a narrow, closely built urban setting.
- No energy rating or detailed information on utilities and recent systems is 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 88/100The cluster is on the Strait of Messina coast, with the Tyrrhenian at the door and the Aspromonte slopes rising inland within a short distance. The Costa Viola around Scilla is known for rocky headlands, terraced slopes and sea views across to Sicily. The nearest larger city is Reggio Calabria, which has full city services, rail links and ferry connections across the strait. Scilla is itself a well-known historic fishing town, and Chianalea is the best-known waterfront quarter in this stretch of coast. Aspromonte National Park lies inland on the massif above the coastal strip.
