Although tagged 'Renovated', the description says the 140 sqm house is only perimeter walls plus roof and still 'da finire', so I treated it as a full restore at about €1,100/sqm. Effective cost is about €253,000 total (~€1,807/sqm) versus a €433/sqm baseline, and it has been on market 384 days.
More on the house and the area
The wooded plot gives it some rural appeal and the house has a complete roofed structure with decent size. But this is not a livable home yet: the interior is an empty unfinished shell with raw walls, no floors or fittings, and shuttered openings. It feels more like a build project than an Italian dream-home ready to enjoy.
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€55,000 – €82,000
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.
- Bare shell internally: no finished rooms, kitchen or bathroom visible
- Only perimeter walls and roof are present, so full fit-out is needed
- Overgrown plot needs clearing and setup
- Road access appears practical but the setting is beside/linked to the SS18
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 sits in the hills of the Cilento, with the Tyrrhenian coast at Policastro Gulf within about 15 km and the lower Bussento valley nearby. Much of the surrounding area falls within Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park. The nearest town of size is Sapri on the gulf, which has rail connections, a marina and everyday services; Policastro Bussentino is the smaller coastal centre for daily needs. This part of southern Campania is known for olive groves, inland hill villages and short links between the coast and the first Cilento slopes.
