See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €28,000 (€200/m²), the asking price is far below the local €361/m² benchmark, but the listing explicitly says the 140 m² farmhouse needs renovation. With estimated works of about €1,100/m², the effective cost is roughly €182,000 (€1,300/m²), making this a weak deal unless renovation costs can be kept much lower.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial old stone farmhouse with a pleasing mountain view, exterior terraces, and some authentic rustic character. However, the interiors are dusty, damp-looking, and clearly uninhabitable without significant renovation, so it reads more as a low-cost restoration project than a ready dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€55,000 – €82,000
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.
- Major renovation required, with extensive peeling plaster, damp staining, debris, and deteriorated finishes.
- The bathroom and kitchen areas appear very outdated and may require complete replacement.
- Roofing, utilities, structural condition, and legal compliance need thorough verification.
- Only a small terrace/balcony and limited outdoor space are shown.
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 38/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Monti Tifatini, the limestone hills that run east of Caserta. The Volturno plain begins nearby, so the immediate landscape is a mix of low hills, built-up strips and agricultural land rather than a single continuous natural setting. Caserta is the nearest city of size and has the Reggia di Caserta and full urban services. Maddaloni and the Caserta urban area are close, with major roads and rail corridors crossing this part of the province. The area is known historically as the inland gateway between the Campania plain and Benevento.
