What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €24,000 for 78 sqm, the ask is €308/sqm versus a low-stock baseline median of €375/sqm in Campania, already slightly below ordinary. Assuming a needs-renovation country house at about €700/sqm renovation, the effective cost is roughly €1,008/sqm; the independent house format, 17 photos and terrace help, but the description is too generic to support a higher score.
More on the house and the area
The big asset here is the lovely green valley-and-mountain outlook, with balconies and a rural setting that feels genuinely pleasant to live in. Inside it looks structurally usable and already equipped with bathroom, bedroom and kitchen, but it is simple, dated and needs refreshing rather than offering instant dream-home charm. At €24k, the view and livability create real appeal.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and quite basic.
- Exterior shows weathering and would benefit from maintenance.
- Kitchen setup looks minimal rather than fully fitted.
- Overhead wires slightly affect the open view.
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.
