What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 for 150 sqm, the ask is €533/sqm; assuming a basically habitable older house at about €200/sqm renovation, the effective cost is about €733/sqm. That sits well above the Campania country-house baseline of €382/sqm, but the central historic-location setting, large size, 18 photos and no obvious legal/use red flags keep it in the good/fair boundary rather than a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
This has some real Italian small-town charm: long balconies, views over the village to the mountains, and a striking tufa cellar with character. But it is not a polished dream home yet—the house looks structurally intact and usable, while the interiors are very dated and need substantial refreshment, with visible moisture damage in places. At this price for 150 sqm in the historic center, it has bargain appeal more than outright 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€10,000 – €17,000
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 needs maintenance and repainting
- Interiors are dated and some rooms show damp/peeling finishes
- Kitchen and bathrooms need significant updating
- Street-front town setting with no private garden/terrace
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.
