The description explicitly says 'rudere' and 'completamente da riattare', so this is a ruin/full restoration project at about €1,100/m² renovation cost. Effective cost is roughly €1,548/m² (€39,000 + ~€95,700 works over 87 m²), far above the €375/m² baseline; it is also 775 days on market, which is a major negative despite the central location 4 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
There is some authentic old-stone character and an interesting central village position, with a hint of openness/views nearby. But this is clearly a ruin rather than a usable home: no livable interiors are shown and the listing says it must be completely renovated.
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€34,000 – €51,000
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.

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 86/100The cluster is in the Cilento, with low limestone hills descending to the Tyrrhenian and the coast of Marina di Camerota and Capo Palinuro within the local area. The coast here has named coves and sea caves around Capo Palinuro, and this stretch belongs to Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park. The nearest larger centre is Sapri to the south, while Vallo della Lucania inland provides more services. The wider area is known for the Cilento coast, olive groves and the old hill settlement of Camerota above the shore.
