See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly an ASTA IMMOBILIARE (judicial auction), which is a veto red flag despite the €121/m² asking price versus the €263/m² Calabria baseline. The listing also describes a four-floor building with apartments and boxes rather than clearly matching the stated villa, creating a contradiction.
More on the house and the area
This is a very large, furnished and apparently functional home, with a pleasant traditional living room, fireplace, and usable kitchen. However, the exterior is a plain enclosed courtyard and the garage/storage areas are cluttered and visibly tired, so the property feels practical rather than dreamlike.
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€26,000 – €43,000
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.
- Auction purchase requires careful review of court documents, occupancy status, debts, and access.
- The listing reports 0 bathrooms, so bathroom provision and layout need verification.
- Large utility/garage areas look cluttered and worn, with visible damp or unfinished wall surfaces.
- No scenic view, garden, or distinctive historic character is shown in the photos.
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 52/100The cluster sits in the Crati valley plain with low cultivated hills around it. The Crati River runs through this part of the province, and the artificial Lake of Tarsia lies nearby within the same local landscape. This is inland northern Calabria between the Pollino foothills to the north and the Sila massifs farther east, but the main setting within 15 km is agricultural valley land rather than mountain terrain. The nearest larger town is Castrovillari, which provides the main services, shops and hospital for this part of the area. This part of the province is known for arable farming and olive groves.
