TWO-STOREY HOUSE FOR SALE IN SORIANELLO, CALABRIA

Generous living space, 3 separate entrances and excellent potential – ideal as a holiday home

Asking price: €30,000 – negotiable

Located in Sorianello, an ancient hilltop village in the Pre-Serre Vibonesi area of Calabria, this spacious two-storey house offers generous living space, three separate entrances, and a flexible layout with considerable potential for renovation and personalization.

The property is particularly suitable for those looking for an affordable holiday home in Calabria, in a peaceful and authentic village away from mass tourism, while remaining within easy reach of both the mountains and some of Calabria’s most beautiful coastal destinations.

THE PROPERTY

The house is arranged over two floors, internally connected by an attractive wrought-iron spiral staircase, and benefits from three separate entrances.

This unusual layout provides considerable flexibility and could suit a variety of uses, depending on the buyer’s needs.

GROUND FLOOR

The first entrance opens directly into the main living area.

From here:

• to the left, there is a bedroom;
• to the right, there is a small kitchen leading to a small bathroom;
• the bedroom also provides access to a storage room/utility space of good size.

The storage room could potentially be converted into a large additional room, subject to the necessary technical, planning and building regulations.

The second entrance, also at ground-floor level, opens directly into the storage room. This separate access adds further flexibility to the property and makes it possible to consider different ways of reorganising the space.

FIRST FLOOR

The third entrance provides direct access to the first floor, opening into a small hallway.

From the hallway:

• to the left, there is a small kitchen;
• to the right, there is a small bathroom;
• straight ahead is the main living area.

The kitchen and bathroom on this floor have already been renovated, although not recently.

From the living area:

• to the right, there is a bedroom;
• to the left, a small hallway leads to a further bedroom;
• the hallway also provides access to the wrought-iron spiral staircase connecting the first floor with the ground floor.

A PROPERTY WITH GREAT POTENTIAL

One of the property’s main strengths is its generous overall size and flexible internal layout.

The combination of two floors and three entrances creates a number of possibilities. Depending on the buyer’s plans, the property could become:

• a spacious holiday home;
• a family residence;
• a property suitable for two-generation living;
• or an interesting renovation project with the possibility of creating a more modern and functional layout.

The ground-floor storage room, which is directly connected to the bedroom and also has its own entrance, could potentially become an additional large room.

CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY

The house has been unoccupied for approximately six years.

It therefore requires some maintenance and refurbishment work before it can be comfortably used as a home.

There are currently some traces of damp/mould, as well as evidence of previous water leakage. The water leakage has been resolved, but some related restoration work remains.

The property should therefore be viewed as a renovation and improvement opportunity rather than a turnkey home.

For buyers with a vision and a willingness to carry out some work, it offers an excellent opportunity to create a comfortable and characterful holiday home while preserving the atmosphere and authenticity of a traditional Calabrian village property.

SORIANELLO – AUTHENTIC CALABRIA

Sorianello is an ancient fortified hilltop village in the Pre-Serre Vibonesi, known locally as a “nativity village” because of its picturesque appearance.

The village retains important traces of its past, including remains of medieval walls, historic churches and characteristic old streets and buildings.

One of the most fascinating places in the surrounding area is the Valle dei Mulini (Valley of the Mills), an area of natural and historical interest also associated with the journeys and presence of Saint Bruno of Cologne.

The neighbouring town of Soriano Calabro is also just a short distance away. It is renowned for its religious history and its connection with the Dominican Order, as well as for the spectacular Baroque ruins of the former convent complex, largely destroyed by the devastating earthquake of 1783.

Soriano Calabro is also known for its traditional crafts and confectionery, adding to the area’s authentic cultural character.

AN EXCELLENT BASE FOR EXPLORING CALABRIA

The property’s location is particularly convenient for exploring both the mountains and the coast:

• less than 10 km from the motorway exit;
• approximately 15 km from Serra San Bruno;
• approximately 20 km from Vibo Valentia;
• approximately 30 km from the Costa degli Dei (Coast of the Gods);
• approximately 35 km from Pizzo Calabro;
• approximately 40 km from Soverato;
• approximately 45 km from Tropea.

This makes the property an appealing base from which to discover a different side of Calabria: historic villages, nature, local cuisine, mountains and beautiful Mediterranean beaches, all within easy reach.
