In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €54,565 (€182/m²), this habitable 300 m² villa appears inexpensive, with a garage, cellar, heating, terrace and 33 photos. Allowing about €60,000 for habitable-condition updates brings the effective cost to roughly €382/m², close to the local €365/m² benchmark; the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has.
More on the house and the area
This is a very large, functional-looking property with terraces, outdoor space, and a pleasant view toward the surrounding Molise hills. However, the worn exterior, construction debris, and prominent unfinished structure make it feel more like a mixed renovation project than a beautiful ready-to-live-in Italian home.
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€20,000 – €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.
- The main house appears usable but visibly weathered, with peeling finishes and neglected balconies.
- A substantial portion of the property is an unfinished concrete shell surrounded by rubble and stored materials.
- The listing reports zero bathrooms, and no interior photos confirm the claimed habitable condition.
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 58/100The cluster is in the Molise Apennine setting, with rounded mountain relief and hill country around Campobasso. The Biferno valley lies nearby, and the Matese massif is to the south-west, but the stronger mountain scenery is outside the immediate 15 km radius. Campobasso is the nearest town of size and has the regional administrative functions, a substantial historic centre, and Castello Monforte above the town. This part of Molise is known for inland hill and mountain landscapes rather than for a single standout landmark within the immediate surroundings.
