In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
111 m² house listed at €20,000; adding estimated €200/m² renovation (~€42,200 total) yields ~€380/m², about 12% below the regional median of €433/m². Habitable condition, 10 photos and B&B potential (15 km to Soverato) support this as a strong find.
More on the house and the area
A very cheap, habitable village townhouse with a sensible floor plan but tired, dated interiors. Good as a low‑cost starter or renovation project/B&B conversion, but not a scenic or turn‑key dream home.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Dated interiors and finishes — kitchen and bathroom need updating.
- Exterior stairs, balcony and metal roof show wear and will need repair.
- Some wall cracks/damp visible; check roof, structure and utilities before purchase.
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 61/100The cluster lies in the inland hills on the eastern side of the Serre Calabresi. The Ancinale valley is the main local landform here, with wooded slopes and mixed farmland around the settlements. The Ionian coast around Soverato is the nearest coast and is part of everyday access, but it is outside the immediate inland landscape. Serra San Bruno is the nearest town of note in the uplands, with the Certosa and the regional park territory of the Serre nearby. This part of Calabria is known for chestnut and beech woods in the higher hills and for small hill towns between the Serre and the Ionian side.
