What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 120 sqm, the asking price is €750/sqm; assuming broadly habitable condition from the description of two existing apartments, the effective cost is about €950/sqm after light works. That is far above the local baseline of €386/sqm, though the near-sea location (4 km) and whole building with garden/terrace support a mid-range score rather than a low one.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, usable house rather than a romantic dream property: floors, kitchen, bathroom and bright rooms are already in place. The small garden and balconies add some livability, but the setting is roadside and the building is visually plain, with dated finishes and no standout historic or scenic wow.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Very plain exterior and interiors with little character.
- On a main road, so traffic/noise may affect the living feel.
- Needs updating/refreshing despite being basically usable.
- Photos do not prove any real sea view despite being near the coast.
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 68/100The cluster is in the lower hills of the Cilento, with the Tyrrhenian coast and the mouth area of the Alento river within about 15 km. Much of the surrounding area falls in or against the Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park. The nearest sizeable town is Vallo della Lucania, which functions as the main service centre for this part of inland Cilento. Paestum and the better-known stretches of the Cilento coast are farther away and do not define the immediate landscape. The area is known for olive groves and mixed hill country between the coastal plain and the inland Cilento ridges.
