Whole 228 m² palazzo offered at €79k is 5 km from the sea but is mostly commercial/magazzino and needs conversion; I estimate renovation ≈ €700/m² (~€159.6k), giving an effective price ≈ €1,046/m² vs regional median €324/m², so this looks overpriced for a conversion project.
More on the house and the area
Big, solid four-level building with a lovely valley/mountain view and authentic stone character, but the interior is largely a former shop and storage rooms. With investment to convert and refurbish it could become a very affordable, characterful 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€45,000 – €80,000
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.
- Major renovation required — most rooms are raw stone/storage and the interior needs full refurbishment
- Currently fitted out as a shop/magazzino so change-of-use works may be needed to convert to a home
- Street-front access on a main village road — limited privacy and possible noise
- No clear finished kitchen or bathroom shown in the photos
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 67/100The Tyrrhenian coast is within the local landscape here, with beaches and the shoreline around Cittadella del Capo and the Bonifati marina area. Inland, the first ridges of the Calabrian Coastal Range rise quickly behind the coast. The lower valley of the Fiume Esaro is nearby. Belvedere Marittimo is the nearest larger coastal town, with a seafront, marina and a substantial historic centre on the hill above. This stretch of coast is known for small seaside resorts backed by steep inland hills and for citron cultivation in the upper Tyrrhenian part of Calabria.
