What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 for 100 sqm, the ask is €350/sqm, but the description says the interiors are 'to personalize', so I estimate about €700/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,050/sqm. The local baseline is weak (only 11 comps, median €460/sqm), so this looks plausible but not especially cheap once works are included; few photos and missing condition data add uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is a real multi-level house rather than a ruin, and the large vine-covered frontage adds a little charm. But the facade is quite plain and tired, with no visible views or standout architectural character. At €35k for 100 sqm it feels usable and affordable, yet more practical than dreamy.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- Exterior looks plain and somewhat tired, with visible facade wear and aging balconies.
- Only exterior photos are shown, so interior charm and actual livability are unproven.
- House is described as 'to personalize', suggesting updating/renovation is likely needed.
- Street setting appears ordinary with no proven views or special location appeal.
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 56/100The area is in the low inland hills of the Fortore country near the valley of the Fortore river. Lake Occhito lies within reach to the southeast, on the Molise–Puglia border. The nearest larger centres are Campobasso and Termoli for broader services, while Larino is the nearest historic town of note with a cathedral and an old centre. This part of Molise is known for cereal farming, olive groves and hill villages spread across open agricultural ridges.
