This is a judicial auction listing and is described as vandalized and missing doors/windows and finishes; estimated renovation ~700€/m² gives ~78,000€ total (≈928€/m² effective) which removes the usual buy-safe signals, so treat as an auction risk.
More on the house and the area
Structurally recent townhouse with an exclusive courtyard/private garden but the interior was reported vandalized and stripped of doors, windows, floors and finishes. At the current auction price it’s a clear bargain for someone prepared to carry out a full renovation, not a move-in-ready dream 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€17,000 – €30,000
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.

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 lies on the lower slopes west of Cosenza, in the valley system that opens toward the Crati plain, with the Coastal Range rising a short distance to the west. The Savuto valley and the first Tyrrhenian-facing mountains are within the local hinterland, and the Sila massif is visible farther east beyond Cosenza but outside the immediate landscape. Cosenza is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services, a historic centre, and the urban area shared with Rende. The area is known mainly as the inland edge between the Cosenza urban basin and the Tyrrhenian side of northern Calabria, with mixed hillside settlement and access routes across the province.
