At €405/m², the asking price is attractive, but allowing about €200/m² for a habitable property puts the effective cost near €605/m², modestly above comparable Campania apartments. The listing shows strong practical features—garage, cellar, terrace, heating and 33 photos—but does not state the number of bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
A generous 126 sqm home with a sunny tiled entrance terrace, balcony, garage, heating, and a practical multi-level layout. It is a real, roofed, usable house rather than a ruin, but the interiors are plain and need cosmetic updating and some repair work; the gallery does not show a compelling view or distinctive historic character.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- Interior appears habitable but dated and largely empty, with exposed wiring and visible wall/floor repairs.
- No bathroom is shown in the gallery, so its condition and completeness are unclear.
- Exterior paint and parts of the building facade show noticeable wear.
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.

Oliveto Citra has a hilltop historic centre and castle remains above the river plain. Contursi Terme, the nearest small centre of note, is known for thermal springs. Eboli is the nearest larger town in daily reach, with full services and rail connections. This inland part of eastern Salerno is known for olive groves, mixed farming and thermal water around the Sele valley.
