What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €112/m² the asking price is far below the Calabria baseline of €478/m², but the 420 m² property has no stated condition, rooms, or utilities and is described only as having “great potential.” Assuming substantial renovation, effective cost is about €812/m² (€47,000 + €294,000), above the baseline; verify habitability and structural condition.
More on the house and the area
The large historic townhouse has a handsome weathered facade, multiple balconies, stone detailing and a garden, giving it genuine character and potential. Inside, however, it is essentially a neglected renovation project with bare, cluttered rooms and no confirmed bathroom or kitchen, so it is not currently a usable 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€83,000 – €147,000
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.
- Major renovation required: interiors are cluttered, neglected and not move-in ready.
- No bathrooms, bedrooms or usable kitchen are shown or listed.
- Visible damp, deteriorated finishes, aging wiring and questionable structural condition need professional assessment.
- The garden is overgrown and access is via a traditional town street.
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 is in the Savuto valley on the inland side of the Catena Costiera, with wooded hills and lower mountain slopes within the local landscape. The Savuto river valley is the main named feature in this part of the province. The Sila plateau lies farther east beyond the immediate 15 km radius and is part of wider regional access rather than the resident landscape here. Cosenza is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail connections and hospitals. This area is known for inland Calabrian hill country, chestnut and mixed woodland, and small historic centres along the old route between Cosenza and the Tyrrhenian side.
