What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 for 119 sqm, the asking price is about €420/sqm, only slightly above the Campania country-house baseline of €390/sqm. The description says the house is "da personalizzare" and includes deposit/cellar space, so I assume a renovation project at roughly €700/sqm, which makes the effective cost ordinary rather than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real house rather than a shell, with floors, stairs, bedrooms and a usable bathroom, so it has basic livability. But the photos show very dated rooms, some damage and rough ancillary spaces, with little visual charm or setting-based appeal. At €50k for 119 sqm it feels cheap, yet the wow comes more from price than beauty.
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€23,000 – €42,000
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.
- Dated interiors throughout and needs significant cosmetic updating
- Visible wall damage/damp issues in at least one bedroom and lower areas
- Semi-basement/deposit spaces are rough and partly unusable in current state
- No proven views, garden, or notable exterior character in the photos
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 72/100The cluster is in the Vallo di Diano, a broad inland basin enclosed by the southern Apennines. The Certosa di San Lorenzo at Padula is a major historic monument and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The area lies by the Tanagro river system and close to the edge of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park. The Alburni mountains rise to the west and the Lucanian Apennines continue to the east and south. Sala Consilina is the nearest larger town, with the valley’s main shops, services and road links on the A2 motorway. The area is known for the Certosa and for a landscape of mountain-framed farmland and small historic centres across the valley floor and lower slopes.
