What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €24,900 for 383 sqm, the ask is just €65/sqm, but with a likely renovation budget of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €765/sqm. The baseline is weak (only 13 comps), so this score relies more on absolute plausibility: the huge size in a historic center at a very low entry price looks attractive for a renovation project, but not enough data supports a higher score.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, very large historic town house with some real character: vaulted rooms, a fireplace, old patterned floors and a solid old-stone feel. The condition is tired rather than ruined—there are floors, rooms, kitchen and bathroom in place—but it clearly needs substantial refurbishment and cleanup to become a dream home. The overgrown garden and glimpsed green outlook add appeal, though the facade is fairly ordinary.
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€76,000 – €135,000
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.
- Needs significant updating and likely repairs before comfortable full-time living
- Visible damp/peeling and dated kitchen-bathroom finishes
- Exterior is plain and the garden looks overgrown rather than immediately usable
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 58/100The area sits in the Molise interior among cultivated hills and low Apennine ridges. The Biferno valley is nearby, and the Matese mountains rise to the south-west within this part of the province. Campobasso is the nearest town of size and has the provincial services, shops, rail connections and the Castello Monforte on its hill. This part of Molise is known for mixed farming, small hill villages and inland views toward the central-southern Apennines.
