See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 for 180 sqm, the ask is €444/sqm, slightly above the already-low Campania townhouse baseline of €420/sqm; with a realistic renovation budget of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,144/sqm, so it is not cheap on an all-in basis. The listing has also been on the market for 541 days, which is a strong negative signal and caps the score.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, inexpensive townhouse with practical village access, but the exterior is plain rather than romantic. It looks roofed and structurally like a real house, yet clearly needs significant renovation and updated utilities before it feels comfortable to live in. There is little visible wow factor from the photos beyond the low price for the size.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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 72/100The cluster sits in the Vallo di Diano, a broad inland basin enclosed by the southern Apennines. The Tanagro river runs through this valley system. The Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park extends into this area and covers much of the surrounding mountain country. The nearest larger centre is Sala Consilina, which has the main local services and shops, and the valley is also tied to the A2 motorway corridor. This part of inland Campania is known for mixed farmland on the basin floor, mountain slopes, and the archaeological area of Padula with the Certosa di San Lorenzo, a UNESCO site, a few kilometres away.
