See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000, the 180 m² property costs €417/m² before works, but its stated renovation need adds roughly €126,000, bringing the effective cost near €1,117/m² versus about €360/m² for comparable local stock. The four ground-floor rooms are unfinished storage space, so the fully usable residential area may be less than advertised, despite the panoramic setting.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, roofed country house with a usable upper floor, tiled rooms, functioning-looking bathroom fixtures, balconies, and a sunny wooded setting. However, the interiors are plain and dated, the ground floor is unfinished storage space, and the house needs meaningful renovation rather than simple cosmetic refreshment.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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 described as needing renovation, with four ground-floor rooms still in a raw unfinished state.
- No kitchen is visible, and only one bathroom is shown for the 180 sqm house.
- The advertised panoramic setting is not demonstrated by the photos; access and exterior areas look basic.
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 63/100The area sits in the inland hills between the Monte Maggiore massif and the upper Volturno basin. The Volturno river runs nearby through the wider plain toward Capua. The Roccamonfina-Foce Garigliano Regional Park lies to the west, with the extinct volcanic massif of Roccamonfina within local reach. Matese is farther off to the east and is part of the wider horizon rather than the immediate landscape. The nearest larger town is Piedimonte Matese, while Caserta and Capua are the main service centres reached for major shopping, rail connections and administration. Pietravairano is known locally for the hilltop theatre-temple site of Monte San Nicola from the Samnite and Roman period.
