At €459/m², the asking price is 25% below the local €611/m² reference, but allowing roughly €200/m² for an unspecified condition brings the effective cost to about €659/m². The listing describes a spacious family apartment with 10 photos, but does not state its condition, construction year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, genuinely livable family apartment with three bedrooms, generous rooms, traditional terrazzo/marble-style floors, and a long balcony overlooking rolling hills. It lacks historic character or a standout interior, and the worn building exterior and dated finishes keep it in the charming rather than dream-home tier.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€10,000 – €16,000
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 apartment is clean and usable but interiors are dated and likely need cosmetic updating.
- The building exterior shows significant peeling paint and weathering on balcony soffits.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large three-bedroom apartment.
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 area sits in the Molise interior on rolling hills and small valleys of the Biferno basin, with the Matese mountains visible to the southwest on clear days. Campobasso is the nearest town of size and has the provincial services, a substantial historic center and the Castello Monforte above the town. This part of Molise is known for mixed farming and hill villages rather than for a single standout natural feature within the immediate surroundings.
