In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €35,250 price is attractive at €441/m², about 19% below the local €542/m² benchmark, but allowing roughly €16,000 for a habitable 80 m² home gives an effective cost near €641/m². Its location 800 metres from the sea and autonomous heating add value, though the listing does not state the bathroom count, energy class, or building year.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical 80 sqm apartment near the sea, with balconies, greenery around the building, autonomous heating and a kitchen according to the listing. However, the exterior is a generic, dense apartment setting rather than a characterful Italian home, and the lack of interior photos limits confidence about real livability.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- No interior photos are provided, so the claimed habitable condition cannot be verified.
- The apartment is in a large, aging urban block with visibly weathered façades and communal areas.
- The panoramic and aerial images are explicitly illustrative and do not show the property or its actual 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 58/100The cluster is on the Domitian coast of the Tyrrhenian, with long sandy beaches and the coastal plain behind them. Monte Massico rises immediately inland, and the Monte Massico and Roccamonfina foothills shape the background within this stretch of northern Campania. The mouth area of the Garigliano River is a short distance to the north. The nearest larger town is Caserta, with the Royal Palace and full city services; Naples is farther south for airport and major rail links. This part of the coast is known for beach resorts, pinewoods in places along the littoral, and agriculture on the plain, including Falerno del Massico wine on the inland slopes.
