What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

At €80,000 for 220 sqm, the ask is just €364/sqm, but with a likely ~€250/sqm finish-up/habitable refresh the effective cost is about €614/sqm, above the €420/sqm low-stock baseline for Campania townhouses. Central village location and usable extras help, but the large attic is still to be completed and 294 days on market is a negative signal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable town house with generous rooms, old-school furniture, chandeliers and a bit of period character rather than headline beauty. The mountain-village setting gives it some charm, and at 220 sqm for €80k the value helps the appeal. It looks livable now, but expect a dated interior and some remedial work before it feels dreamy.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€18,000 – €31,000
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 habitable but very dated and need cosmetic modernization.
- Some visible damp/patchy walls in the kitchen and a few rooms.
- Only one bathroom shown, and it is functional but old.
- Balconies/railings look weathered and may need 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.
