What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €68,000 for 105 sqm, the ask is €648/sqm; assuming a full renovation at about €700/sqm, the effective cost is about €1,348/sqm versus a very low local baseline of €392/sqm, so it does not screen as cheap. The house is independent and has 21 photos, but the description suggests an older multi-level property with mixed levels/sottotetto and no clear claim that it is renovated or readily habitable.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: it has kitchens, bathrooms, floors and furnished bedrooms across multiple levels. The wow comes mainly from the upper terrace and wide valley/mountain views, plus the small planted outdoor area with citrus trees. Visually the house itself is plain and somewhat dated, so it feels livable and good-value rather than dreamy-beautiful.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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.
- Interiors look basic and dated rather than stylish.
- Photos show some dark rooms and modest finishes; expect refreshing works.
- Exterior façade and courtyard are functional, not especially pretty.
- Top terrace/view is the main emotional draw, but access is through a tall multi-level layout.
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 lies on the inland side of the Piana del Sele, with low hills and cultivated countryside at the foot of the Cilento uplands. The Sele river plain is the main landscape within reach. Paestum is the nearest major archaeological site and town of visitor importance, with the Greek temples on the plain near the coast. The Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park begins to the south and east, but the core mountain scenery is not centered on this immediate 15 km area. The nearest city of size is Salerno, which provides the main rail, port and urban services for the wider area. This part of the area is known for mixed agriculture on the plain and hills, including olive groves and livestock country.
