What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 (€490/m²) and explicitly needing renovation, estimated effective cost is about €238,000 (€1,190/m²), far above the Calabria villa baseline of €263/m². The 1 km sea location, garden and 33 photos add value, but not enough to offset the renovation burden and missing condition details.
More on the house and the area
This large villa has a genuinely impressive sea view toward Dino Island, plus extensive planted terraces and a usable outdoor-living atmosphere. It is roofed and appears to be an established home rather than a shell, but visible deterioration and the stated need for renovation keep it below dream-home territory until the interiors and systems are verified.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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 property is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with visible façade, balcony, roof-edge and terrace wear.
- No interior living spaces are shown, so the current condition of the kitchen, bathrooms, utilities and finishes is unconfirmed.
- The sea view is excellent, but the home is in a built-up residential setting rather than a secluded location.
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 81/100The Tyrrhenian coast is at the edge of the area, with the Gulf of Policastro and beaches around Marina di Tortora and Praia a Mare. The first ridges of the southern Apennines rise immediately inland, and the Pollino massif and Pollino National Park are within this radius above the coastal strip. The Lao valley is nearby, with the river cutting down from the Pollino toward the sea. Praia a Mare is the nearest town of size, with beaches, a seafront and rail access on the coastal line. The area is known for the meeting of steep inland mountains with a short Tyrrhenian coastal plain.
