At €443/m², the €85,000 asking price is about 24% above comparable Campania country homes, so it is not a clear bargain. The three-level historic house has useful space and a terrace, but the listing does not say whether it is habitable or needs work; energy class G adds uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
A substantial three-level historic house on a beautifully paved borgo street, directly opposite an attractive church and near the castle route. The interiors are clearly livable, with functioning kitchens, three bathrooms, tiled floors, multiple bedrooms and a terrace, though the decor and finishes are dated and the exterior needs refreshing.
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 – €32,000
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 facade shows significant weathering and likely needs exterior maintenance.
- Interiors are fully furnished and usable but dated, with low energy performance (class G).
- Town-center setting means no private garden and potentially limited vehicle access.
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.
