The numbers are internally implausible: €1,999 for a 4-level palazzo with about 890 sqm of building/areas and 20 photos strongly suggests bad or incomplete listing data, so this cannot be treated as a real bargain. Even before renovation, €2/sqm is far below the already-low Campania palazzo baseline of €374/sqm, but the 812 days on market and mixed commercial/residential description make the asking price unreliable rather than a clear deal.
More on the house and the area
The best feature is the large terraces with open valley and mountain views, plus a usable garden and generous outdoor space. Much of the property looks solid and partly habitable, with some finished living areas, but at least one substantial floor is still in raw unfinished condition. It feels more like a big practical project with real lifestyle potential than an instantly dreamy Italian home.
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€176,000 – €312,000
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.
- Part of the building appears unfinished/raw inside
- Exterior is functional rather than beautiful
- Setting includes nearby roads and neighboring buildings
- Mixed-use layout may need adaptation for comfortable residential living
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.
