What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 for 82 sqm, the ask is €488/sqm, but the description says completa ristrutturazione, so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation; effective cost is roughly €1,588/sqm. That is far above the low-stock baseline of €429/sqm for Campania farmhouses, so despite 27 photos and road frontage this looks weak on price.
More on the house and the area
The countryside setting has some real appeal, with open rolling-field views and a good amount of land around it. But the building itself reads as an overgrown rustico/shell rather than a livable house, with no usable interiors shown and obvious full-restoration needs. At €40k it has project appeal, not dream-home-ready wow.
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 – €48,000
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.
- Complete renovation project, not currently a usable home
- Overgrown plot and exterior make access/clearing a first job
- No bathroom shown and likely no functioning services
- Roadside position may reduce rural privacy despite open views
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

The Calore Irpino river valley is the main landscape feature of this part of the province. The nearest town of size is Benevento, which has full services and major Roman remains including the Arch of Trajan and the Roman theatre. This is part of the Sannio area, known for vineyards and olive growing.
