Perched overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea along the south west coast of Italy, Scalea’s old town is steeped in history dating back to the 11th century. A beach resort with a unique backdrop, Scalea is a traditional Italian seaside town with a twist.

The old town is within a short walk to the beach and main shopping areas. This centro storico is littered with many restaurants and trattorias along the narrow streets which are unpassable by car. The warren of buildings makes for an enchanting atmosphere and a taste of years gone by.

Towards the top of the town is an old Norman castle. Just down from the castle into a small piazza with a restaurant, we have a three room ruin for sale.

Currently used for storage by the vendor, the property will be emptied ready for restoration prior to the sale completion.

The restoration will include a new roof and floor. All structural work which will be carried out by local qualified and licenced tradesmen. The project will be administered by a building engineer/architect who will liaise with the builders and project management team. We have over 15 years experience renovating old properties and use only the best local tradesmen.

Part of the process will be an introduction to meet the professionals who will be working on your project. You will also see examples of completed projects and any work in progress.

This property we suggest would ideally make a large one bed apartment. Entry to a small lobby with direct access to a large open plan living area. To the right, a bathroom and on the left of the bathroom, a large bedroom. We have included the current floor plan and a possible solution floor plan. Estimation for the restoration (excluding finishing materials) €35,000

PURCHASE PRICE €19,000
