What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 65 sqm, the ask is about €1,000/sqm; with a habitable-home allowance of ~€200/sqm, the effective cost is ~€1,200/sqm versus a very low local baseline of €433/sqm, so it screens expensive for this stock. The ad is also contradictory: it describes a tiny 57 sqm home but also mentions over 500 sqm of buildings and 10,000 sqm of land, and it has been on the market for 280 days.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable little stone farmhouse, not a ruin: it has finished floors, a usable kitchen, bathroom, and characterful stone-and-wood interiors. The setting is the real draw, with olive trees, vineyard land and open mountain-valley views that feel very dreamable. It looks more rustic-simple than polished, and would benefit from outdoor tidying and some refresh, but it already reads as a home you could use.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Small house size with only 1 bedroom
- Interiors are simple and a bit basic despite the character
- Visible overhead wires and rough outdoor areas reduce the romance
- Listing description appears inconsistent about the larger structures/buildings included
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 74/100The cluster is in the middle Calore valley below the Alburni mountains. The Calore Lucano river runs by Felitto and forms the Gole del Calore, a river gorge used for canoeing and walking. This is inside the Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park. The nearest town of some size is Roccadaspide in the inland Sele-Calore area; for a wider range of services people usually look to Capaccio Paestum or Battipaglia farther west. The area is known for river gorges, mixed woodland and inland Cilento villages; Felitto itself is also known locally for fusilli.
