Main body: The belief that maintaining a house in Italy is expensive is one of the most common myths. In reality, especially in Calabria, expenses are predictable and relatively low. The annual maintenance for a standard apartment (50–70 m²) typically falls within the range of €1,500 – €2,800. This amount includes:
- Taxes (IMU and TARI): On average between 450 and 1000 euros per year.
- Ground rent From 300 to 800 euros, depending on the standard of the building.
- Media: For occasional use, approximately €600–€1000 per year.
For an investor, this means an extremely low break-even point. With daily rental rates reaching €120 during peak season, just a few weeks of occupancy is enough to cover annual fixed costs. This makes Scalea one of the most financially secure locations on the Italian map.
