What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 for 216 sqm the asking price is €454/sqm, slightly above the Campania townhouse baseline of €420/sqm; with a typical 'needs renovation' budget of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,154/sqm, which is weak for this stock. Positives are the independent layout, garden and panoramic view, but being 8 km from the sea does not offset the heavy renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
The best asset here is the open valley-and-hill view, with balconies, terrace space and a usable private garden that give it real liveability. Inside it is a genuine house, not a shell, with bathrooms, floors and decent room sizes, but it feels basic and needs renovation and cosmetic work rather than inspiring as-is. At this price and size, the value is strong, though the wow comes more from panorama and potential than from beauty of the house itself.
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€43,000 – €76,000
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.

- Exterior is worn and patchy, with visible maintenance needed.
- Interiors are habitable but plain and partly unfinished/awkward, especially the attic.
- Garden and terrace areas need tidying and upgrading to feel attractive.
- Village setting is practical but not especially picturesque from the street.

The area around
Location score 57/100The cluster sits in the Irno valley at the foot of the Monti Picentini. The Irno river runs through this corridor. The Monti Picentini Regional Park begins nearby and shapes the landscape east of Baronissi with wooded slopes and higher inland ridges. Salerno is the nearest city of size, with a full range of services, rail links and port facilities. This area is known as the inland approach to Salerno between the Picentini and the plain opening to the Gulf of Salerno.
