What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 for 160 m², the €700/m² purchase price rises to roughly €1,319/m² after an estimated €700/m² renovation, more than double the weak €619/m² baseline. The 1 km distance from the sea and 5,000 m² of flat land add value, but missing rooms, bathrooms, energy data and a vague description limit confidence.
More on the house and the area
This is a traditional masseria with attractive old rooflines, arches, shutters and around 5,000 sqm of flat land, giving it genuine restoration potential near the sea. However, the actual property is currently a rough, largely uninhabitable shell with deteriorated interiors, damaged masonry and no visible bathroom, so the beauty is mostly in the historic bones and setting rather than a home you could live in now.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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.

- Major renovation is required; the actual interiors are dark, dirty and visibly deteriorated.
- No usable bathroom is shown, and utilities and habitability are unconfirmed.
- Visible cracks, damaged masonry, old windows and overgrown grounds suggest substantial structural and site work.
- The polished renovation images appear to be illustrative examples, not the current property.
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 72/100The area is on the Ionian coast with beaches and the mouth of the Bonamico fiumara nearby. The first slopes of the Aspromonte rise a short distance inland, and the southern sector of Parco Nazionale dell’Aspromonte begins within this radius above the coastal strip. Locri is the nearest town of size with everyday services and the archaeological area of Locri Epizefiri is nearby. This stretch of the Locride is known for citrus groves on the coastal plain and for hill villages on the lower Aspromonte facing the Ionian Sea.
