What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €64,000 (€640/m²), the house needs substantial refurbishment; estimating about €70,000 for 100 m² brings the effective cost to roughly €134,000 (€1,340/m²). That is far above comparable Campania country homes around €357/m², and the listing does not specify the building year or detailed condition.
More on the house and the area
A photogenic independent house on the main piazza, with colorful historic façades, balconies, patterned original tile floors, a fireplace, and a striking covered terrace with wooden beams and arches. The two-level property is a genuine furnished home with kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms, but it is dated and needs meaningful refurbishment rather than being move-in ready.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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 property needs refurbishment and modernization, with dated kitchens, bathrooms, finishes, and systems.
- The attic/terrace room appears unfinished and may require substantial work.
- It is in a dense town-center setting with no private garden and no notable landscape view.
- Energy class G indicates poor energy efficiency.
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 41/100Bellona lies on the inland plain north of Naples, between the Volturno basin and the first hills below the Campanian Apennines. The Volturno River runs a few kilometres to the north. Capua is the nearest substantial town and has a large historic centre, Roman remains and rail connections; Caserta is also nearby with the Royal Palace of Caserta, a UNESCO site, but that is outside the immediate landscape and does not define the setting around the cluster. This part of the province is known for mixed farmland on the plain, small towns and road links between Capua, Caserta and the interior.
