See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 (€295/m²), the 220 m² villa is below the local €368/m² benchmark, but it explicitly needs renovation: estimated total cost is about €219,000, or roughly €995/m² all-in. The central location, garden, parking and 29 photos are positives, but the renovation burden makes this weak value.
More on the house and the area
A very large, independent two-level house at an unusually low price, with a balcony, small private garden, ornate railings, marble stairs, and plenty of usable rooms. The interiors are solid and furnished rather than a bare shell, but the dated tiles, kitchen, finishes, and tired exterior make this a real renovation project rather than a move-in dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€44,000 – €77,000
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 property is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with visibly dated finishes and exterior plaster.
- The kitchen and bathrooms appear functional but very old-fashioned and may require modernization.
- Energy class G and the condition of the roof, systems, and windows should be checked carefully.
- The outdoor area is useful for parking and a small garden, but it is not a substantial private landscape.
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 56/100The cluster is in the Fortore hills of the northern Benevento inland, with cultivated ridges, small wooded patches and stream valleys rather than a single dominant landmark. The Fortore basin lies nearby, and the wider setting is the inland Campanian-Apennine hill country. Benevento is the nearest city of size, with rail links, services and major Roman and medieval monuments. San Marco dei Cavoti is known locally for torrone production.
