The description says the current building is to be demolished and what is advertised is an approved project for a future 80 sqm villa, so this is not a true renovated existing home; using a rebuild-level cost of about €1,100/sqm gives an effective cost around €1,912/sqm (€65k + ~€88k), far above the €392/sqm baseline. It is also 355 days on market and the facts contradict the listing labels ('Renovated', year 2025) versus the text.
More on the house and the area
The plot has some appeal: a decent-sized garden with fruit trees and a pleasant green hillside setting, plus the satellite image suggests the sea is close. But the photos show an unfinished or obsolete outbuilding rather than a livable villa, so this is a land-and-project purchase, not a dream home you could move into.
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.
- Current structure appears to be a demolition/rebuild project, not a usable home
- Photos do not show any finished interior, kitchen, or bathroom
- Garden is overgrown and site has rubble/fencing works visible
- Near-sea location is not visually expressed from the property itself
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 78/100The cluster is in the Cilento area, between the Tyrrhenian coast and the first ridges of the southern Apennines. The Gulf of Policastro and the beaches around Capitello and Villammare are within a few kilometres, and the Bussento valley is the main inland landscape nearby. This part of the coast falls within Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park. Sapri is the nearest town of size, with a railway station, harbour and everyday services. Maratea on the Lucanian coast is reachable for day-to-day outings but lies outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The wider area is known for the Cilento coast, olive groves and hill villages above the sea.
