Livable, but something basic is worn out

At €80,000 (€615/m²), the effective cost is about €1,000/m² after allowing €300/m² to divide and adapt the former gaming hall, versus a €433/m² regional baseline. The 235-day listing history, zero baths in the facts versus two claimed in the description, and unfinished internal layout weaken the deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a sizable, roofed townhouse with usable floors, windows and bathroom infrastructure, but it has little visual charm. The former game-room interior is basic and unfinished in layout, while the exterior is heavily weathered; it feels more like a conversion project than a dream Italian home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Interior appears dated and requires substantial refurbishment and reconfiguration.
- The former game-room layout is largely open, with rooms not yet divided.
- Exterior plaster, drainage details, doors and shutters show significant wear.
- No attractive views, garden, terrace or distinctive historic features are evident.
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.
