At €97,000 plus an estimated €84,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,508/m², versus €409/m² for comparable Campania townhouses. The garage, cellar and fireplace add appeal, but the substantial renovation premium makes this weak value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished 120 sqm townhouse with intact floors, multiple rooms, a private citrus-filled courtyard, garage, and a small mountain glimpse from the roof. Its vintage tiled floors, ornate furnishings, wallpaper, and glazed corridor give it personality, but the street-facing exterior and flat-roof construction are plain and visibly tired. It looks livable now, though modernization and building-condition work would be needed rather than simple cosmetic refreshes.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Substantial renovation and modernization are likely needed, especially to the exterior, roof areas, and dated interiors.
- Visible damp staining and aging finishes should be professionally inspected.
- The broad rooftop appears usable but is an exposed shared-looking surface rather than a finished terrace.
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 43/100The cluster lies in the plain around Nola, with Vesuvius visible to the southwest and the first ridges of the Apennine foothills inland to the east. The Regi Lagni canal network and intensively farmed flat land shape much of the immediate surroundings. Nola is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic center, services, and the Early Christian Basilica complex of Cimitile beside the town. Mount Vesuvius National Park is farther away beyond the built plain, so it does not define the immediate landscape here. The area is known for the Nola plain, long-settled agricultural land, and the religious and historical importance of the basilicas at Cimitile.
