See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 (€789/m²), the 95 m² apartment needs an estimated €66,500 of renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,489/m² versus €544/m² for comparable local stock. The sea is about 5 km away and a cellar adds value, but the listing does not say when the building was constructed or provide an energy class.
More on the house and the area
A solid 95 sqm village apartment with excellent mountain and valley views, abundant natural light, original shutters and attractive patterned floors. It is not move-in ready, but it appears to be a genuine, roofed and usable home rather than a shell, with a major garden asset that could become a wonderful outdoor space.
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€19,000 – €34,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- The apartment needs substantial cosmetic renovation, including replastering, repainting and likely modernization of the kitchen and bathroom.
- The extensive garden appears attractive but currently needs clearing and regular maintenance.
- The condition of electrical, plumbing, heating and roof/building systems should be verified.
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 cluster lies in the valley between the Monti Picentini and the Lattari range, with the Irno valley running through this part of the province. The Monti Picentini Regional Park is nearby to the east. Salerno is the nearest city of size and has a port, rail links and a full range of services. The area is known for a settled valley landscape of small towns, road links and cultivated lower slopes rather than for a single standout natural feature within the immediate radius.
