See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €18,000 (€300/m²), the entry price is attractive, but estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €60,000 (€1,000/m²), well above the €433/m² regional baseline. The listing has been on the market for 235 days, and the facts report zero bathrooms despite the description mentioning one.
More on the house and the area
This is a very inexpensive, compact two-level townhouse with a real kitchen, furnished living spaces, two bedrooms, and a small balcony. However, the interiors are dated and cluttered, the exterior is heavily weathered, and ceiling staining suggests maintenance concerns; it feels like a basic renovation project rather than a dream Italian home.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.

- Needs substantial cosmetic renovation, including peeling exterior plaster and likely damp or moisture staining.
- No bathroom is visible in the gallery, although the listing states one exists.
- Dense central-town setting with no garden, meaningful view, or notable historic features shown.
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.
