The 40 m² apartment is completely to renovate, adding an estimated €44,000 and bringing the effective cost to about €79,000 (€1,975/m²). That is far above the local €544/m² benchmark, with no proximity-to-sea premium to offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
The patterned period floor tiles, antique furnishings and arched entrance give this small apartment genuine old-house character. However, it is a 40 sqm single-room property requiring a full renovation rather than a ready-to-live-in home, with no standout setting or outdoor space.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €23,000
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.
- Listed as completely to renovate despite having intact floors, bathroom and roof.
- Visible wall cracks, peeling finishes and a very dated, cramped bathroom suggest substantial refurbishment.
- No meaningful view, garden or outdoor living area is shown; access and utility condition 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 24/100This is inside the continuous built-up area north of Naples, in the plain crossed by the lower course of the Regi Lagni and other canalised waterways. Vesuvius is the dominant mountain on the horizon, but it lies outside the immediate area. Naples is the nearest major city and provides the full range of services, rail links and airport access.
