At €24,675 (€280/m²), this habitable 88 m² apartment is near the sea and remains attractive after allowing about €17,600 for standard improvements: roughly €480/m² effective versus €542/m² for comparable Campania apartments. The listing includes heating and 28 photos, though it does not state the number of bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
This is a very affordable, apparently usable 88 sqm apartment near the sea, with a long balcony and established urban amenities nearby. However, the building is a fairly ordinary apartment block, there is no proven sea view, and the limited interior evidence makes the real condition and bathroom situation uncertain.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 apartment is described as habitable, but the gallery provides almost no view of the actual interior, and the bathroom count is listed as zero/unclear.
- The building facade and balconies show noticeable aging, staining, and general maintenance needs.
- Several aerial and panoramic images are explicitly illustrative and do not represent the property or its immediate setting.
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.
