What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description is for a rural fund of 13,000 sqm with a farmhouse whose ground floor is explicitly a 'locale deposito'; this points to agricultural/storage use rather than a clear lawful dwelling. Even ignoring that, at €70,000 for 80 sqm plus heavy restoration (~€1,100/sqm), the effective cost is about €1,975/sqm versus a €433/sqm baseline, so it is not a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely atmospheric Cilento stone farmhouse with a lovely rural setting, olive land and open hillside views. The structure and roof look sound, and the exterior has real character, but the interiors appear sparse, dirty and only partly usable rather than move-in ready. It feels like a romantic small farmhouse project, not yet an easy live-in dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €47,000
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 are very basic and neglected, with clear need for renovation before comfortable living.
- Livability is uncertain from photos despite a claimed bathroom; kitchen/bath systems are not shown.
- Access is via unpaved road.
- Rural hillside plot may require ongoing land and drainage maintenance.
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 82/100The cluster is in the Cilento, with inland hills dropping toward the Tyrrhenian and the coast of Acciaroli and Pioppi within the commune. The Tyrrhenian coast is the main landscape feature here, with rocky sections and small beaches along this stretch. It lies inside Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park. The nearest town of size in daily use is Agropoli to the north; the larger urban reference is Vallo della Lucania inland, with hospitals, schools and services. Acciaroli is known as a fishing village and seaside resort, and Pioppi for the Museo Vivo del Mare and for its link to studies of the Mediterranean diet. The wider area is known for olive groves, Mediterranean scrub and Cilento food traditions.
