In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Although described as immediately habitable, the estimated all-in cost is about €1,119/m², far above the local comparable level of €413/m². The terrace, garage, heating and vacation-home potential add appeal, but not enough to justify this substantial premium.
More on the house and the area
A bright, immediately habitable village house with a generous living-kitchen area, terrace, heating, garage and a warm traditional feel from the arches, tiled roof and small timber details. It is comfortable rather than spectacular: there is no proven panoramic view, garden or standout interior design, and the finishes are visibly dated.
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.
- Energy class G and likely dated systems/finishes.
- The house sits directly at the borgo entrance beside a road, so privacy and traffic noise may be considerations.
- The large garage/deposit is functional but unfinished and utilitarian.
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 cluster is in the Cilento mountains above the Gulf of Policastro. The Bussento river valley is nearby, and much of this area falls within Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park. The coast around Sapri and Villammare is the nearest stretch of Tyrrhenian shore, reached by a descent from the inland ridge. The nearest larger town is Sapri, which has a rail station, port and the main services for this part of the gulf. Maratea is farther away on the Lucanian side of the gulf and matters more as a day trip than as the immediate landscape. The area is known for wooded limestone hills, olive groves and hill villages of the southern Cilento.
