See what needs doing and what each job costs
Price €65k for 140 m² but listed as needing renovation; estimated renovation ~€700/m² (~€98k) gives effective cost ≈€163k (≈€1,164/m²) versus local median €255/m², so total outlays are well above market. The description also states 70 m² which contradicts the 140 m² in the facts.
More on the house and the area
A simple, intact seaside villa with a private garden and generous covered terrace just a short walk from the beach. The layout is usable now but dated and requires renovation to modernize the kitchen, bathroom and heating for year‑round living.
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€28,000 – €49,000
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.

The area around
Location score 72/100The cluster is on the Ionian coast of Calabria, with beaches on the Gulf of Taranto at the door. Inland, within a short distance, the ground rises into the lower Sila foothills and the wider Sila landscape is the main mountain backdrop of this stretch of coast. The nearest town of size is Rossano-Corigliano to the north, which provides the larger services, rail links and hospitals for this coast. This part of the Ionian Cosentino is known for citrus, olive groves and summer seaside settlements.
