What it really costs

In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Estimated renovation €200/m² (total ~€18,200) makes the effective price ~€103,200 or ~€1,134/m², far above the regional median of €433/m², so this is overpriced. The house is habitable, close to the sea (2 km) with terrace/garage and 12 photos, but the energy class is not provided.
More on the house and the area
A solid, lived‑in small townhouse with two kitchens, a usable terrace and air conditioning — move‑inable and practical. Not a scenic or historic showstopper, but an affordable, central Calabrian home that would be easy to personalise.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Street‑facing on a narrow central road so limited privacy and possible noise.
- Terrace is small and views are of neighbouring rooftops (no sea view despite being 2 km from the coast).
- Habitable condition but cosmetic updating likely (kitchen finishes, flooring, general refresh).
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 58/100The cluster lies on the Ionian coast of Calabria, with long sandy shoreline and the Gulf of Squillace immediately by the town. Inland the land is mostly low coastal plain with cultivated fields, while the Sila foothills rise farther west beyond the 15 km landscape. Catanzaro is the nearest provincial city of size, with full services, rail connections and hospitals. This stretch of coast is known for beach resorts and agricultural land rather than for a protected headland, historic fishing port or named scenic enclave within the immediate area.
