Asking €80,000 (606 €/m²); with a modest refurbishment estimate of €200/m² (€26,400) the effective price is ≈€106,400 ≈€806/m² — well above the regional median of €433/m². Strong positives are the 100 m to the sea, sea views and three independent levels for holiday lets; the listing omits condition details and energy class is pending.
More on the house and the area
A roomy three‑storey townhouse with real sea views from the upper floors and the potential to be split into three independent flats — great for summer rentals. The building is solid and liveable now but dated inside and the active railway right outside is the major downside to consider.
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€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- House sits immediately beside active railway — significant noise and privacy issues
- Interiors are dated and will need cosmetic updating though all rooms, kitchens and bathrooms are present
- Lower levels have limited sea views compared with the top floor
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 82/100The area is on the Ionian coast at the foot of the Aspromonte. The Fiumara Amendolea reaches the sea here, and the lower valley opens inland toward the Greek-speaking Bovesia villages. Aspromonte National Park begins inland on the mountain side, within this radius. Bova, on the slopes above the coast, is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia and this part of the area is known for Grecanic culture and bergamot in the Reggio Calabria coastal belt. The nearest larger city is Reggio Calabria, which provides the main range of services and port and airport connections.
