At €98,250 for 196 m² (€501/m²), the asking price is slightly below the local €542/m² benchmark, but estimated habitable-condition costs bring the effective price to about €701/m². The listing is very sparse and does not state the number of bathrooms or the building year, despite showing 26 photos.
More on the house and the area
This is a large traditional home in a genuinely atmospheric old-town lane, with aged façades, tiled roofs, stonework, and a small hillside glimpse. The listing claims it is habitable with autonomous heating and a kitchen, but the gallery shows no interiors, so livability is difficult to confirm and the exterior appears in need of maintenance.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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, kitchen, and utilities cannot be verified.
- The exterior is visibly weathered and may need façade and general maintenance work.
- The home is on a narrow historic lane; parking and access appear limited.
- The listing records zero bathrooms, which should be clarified before bidding.
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 68/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Partenio mountains in the Campanian Apennines. The Partenio Regional Park covers this massif, with beech woods and limestone slopes above the inhabited belt. The nearest ski lifts are at Laceno, around 1 hour 15 minutes by road, so they are not part of the immediate landscape. The nearest larger towns are Avellino and Benevento, which provide the usual services, rail connections and administrative functions. This area is known for chestnuts, woodland products and small-scale farming along the Caudina valley.
