In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,300 for 170 m², the advertised price is €296/m², but allowing about €34,000 for habitable-condition work brings the effective cost to roughly €496/m² versus a local reference of €412/m². The listing mentions heating and a kitchen and includes 29 photos, but it does not say how many bathrooms there are or provide an energy class.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful old-village townhouse with stone details, terracotta shutters, and a genuinely atmospheric pedestrian setting. However, the home is not convincingly move-in ready from the evidence: the upper floor is unfinished, no bathroom is documented, and the interiors are essentially unseen.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- The gallery shows almost no interior space, so the claimed habitable condition is difficult to verify.
- The first floor is explicitly described as under construction, and the facts list no bathrooms.
- Access is via narrow, uneven pedestrian lanes; the panoramic aerial images are labeled illustrative and do not represent the property or its surroundings.
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 72/100The Alburni Mountains are the immediate setting. The Sele valley runs nearby, and this area falls within the Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park. The Pertosa-Auletta caves are in the Alburni area within about 15 km. Sicignano is close to the A2 motorway corridor, while Eboli and Battipaglia are the nearest larger service towns with rail links, hospitals and major shopping farther west outside the 15 km radius. The area is known for limestone mountains, forested slopes, karst caves and olive-growing in the valleys.
