At €457/m² before works, this is already above the local €360/m² reference; allowing roughly €300/m² for unspecified condition and energy-class G brings the effective cost to about €757/m². Two independent apartments, balconies, parking and 200 m² of land add practical value, but the listing does not say whether the interiors are habitable or recently updated.
More on the house and the area
A substantial two-level home with two independent apartments, fireplaces, balconies, and around 200 sqm of garden/yard space. The arched entrance, old tiled floors, cobbled lane, mature trees, and nearby mountain scenery give it authentic small-town Italian character. It appears basically livable rather than a ruin, but the worn facade, dated interiors, and untidy outdoor areas keep it in the charming-renovation category.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€19,000 – €33,000
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 exterior has extensive peeling render, damp staining and general maintenance needs.
- Interiors are functional but dated and would benefit from cosmetic renovation.
- Energy class G and the non-habitable attic may mean additional efficiency or storage limitations.
- The garden and outbuildings are usable but currently cluttered and informal.
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 67/100The cluster lies in the Picentini area at the foot of the Monti Picentini, with wooded ridges and interior valleys within the 15 km radius. The Sele plain opens not far to the south and west, so the immediate setting is a transition from low hills and valley farmland to the first mountain slopes. The Monti Picentini Regional Park reaches this area. Giffoni Valle Piana is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and everyday services; Salerno is the main city for higher-order services and transport but sits beyond the local landscape radius. The area is known nationally for the Giffoni film festival.
