Priced at €708/m2 vs baseline median €375/m2, nearly 2x the local median while needing full renovation. Key contradiction: listed as 120sqm but the actual habitable apartment is only ~62sqm; the remaining area is cellar/seminterrato and outdoor land (35sqm court + 388sqm unfenced plot). On usable living space (~62sqm) the effective price is ~€1,371/m2, very high for a to-renovate property. Sea distance, energy class, and build year specifics are missing (pre-1967, mutuabile). Torre del Greco (Vesuvius area) has seismic/volcanic risk. Panoramic Capri view and independent structure add some appeal, but the premium over baseline plus full reno cost (~€700/m2) make this weak value. Fresh listing (1 day) so no staleness.
More on the house and the area
Sea and Capri views from the panoramic tiled terrace are the main draw, visible across multiple photos. The independent two-level structure with courtyard, garage, cellar and nearly 388sqm of adjacent (unfenced) land adds practical appeal, and the citrus/garden plot brings some greenery. However interiors are dated and stripped, needing complete renovation, and the exterior is a plain, worn hilltop building in a cluttered suburban setting. The bargain price (708 EUR/m2) is modest given the condition. A charming view property rather than a genuine scroll-stopper.
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.
