In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
€27,000 plus estimated €5,800 of works = ~€32,800 total, about €1,131/m² versus the regional median of €255/m², so this small habitable 29 m² apartment is expensive per m². The property is described as habitable with 16 photos and no long market exposure, but the effective price/m² drives the low score.
More on the house and the area
A compact, habitable one‑bedroom in a traditional Calabrian borgo with a pleasant rooftop/church view and a distant glimpse of the sea. Ready to live in but very small and basic — a charming, low‑cost lock‑up that would benefit from cosmetic updating and offers no private outdoor space.
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€2,000 – €3,000
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.
- Very small (29 m²) — very limited living/storage space.
- No private garden/terrace; access up external steps from a narrow village alley.
- Energy class G — likely poor insulation/higher heating costs.
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.
