In the listingNeeds renovation- On the market for a long time
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €30,000 for 70 sqm, the ask is €429/sqm, essentially in line with the Campania farmhouse baseline of €433/sqm; with a typical needs-renovation allowance of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,129/sqm, so this is not a bargain on our low-biased baseline. The two-level village house is a real dwelling and 10 km from the sea is a small positive, but it has been on the market for 279 days and needs structural reworking to create internal access, which weakens the deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, real village house with some modest character, especially the old fireplace and aged stone facade. But it looks tired, dim, and only partly convenient to live in as-is, with renovation clearly needed and awkward current access between floors. More practical project than dream-home wow.
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€14,000 – €25,000
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.

The area around
Location score 56/100The cluster lies in the valley between the Monti Picentini and the Lattari range, with the Irno valley running through this part of the province. The Monti Picentini Regional Park is nearby to the east. Salerno is the nearest city of size and has a port, rail links and a full range of services. The area is known for a settled valley landscape of small towns, road links and cultivated lower slopes rather than for a single standout natural feature within the immediate radius.
