What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €38,000 plus an estimated €28,000 for habitability works, the effective cost is about €471/m², well above the local comparison level of €305/m². The central historic setting, fireplace, cellar and panoramic view add appeal, but the listing contradicts the facts by describing a second bathroom when only one is recorded.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, habitable 140 sqm village house with three bedrooms, a working fireplace, fitted kitchen, tiled bathrooms, balconies and attractive exposed-stone details. Its narrow historic-center setting in Campochiaro gives it genuine Italian character, while the €38,000 price is exceptionally compelling. The home is more charming and practical than polished, with dated décor and limited outdoor space.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Access is through very narrow historic-center lanes and no private parking is shown.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated, with basic finishes and furnishings that may need refreshing.
- The listing facts state one bathroom, while the gallery appears to show two; verify the layout and services.
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 78/100The Matese mountains rise immediately west of Campochiaro, with the massif dominating this part of inland Molise. Campochiaro sits at the edge of the WWF Oasi Guardiaregia-Campochiaro, a large protected area on the Matese slopes with gorges, springs and beech woods. The Matese Regional Park spans this mountain area on the Molise-Campania border. The nearest ski area is Campitello Matese, about 30-40 minutes by road, on the high plateau inside the massif. Bojano is the nearest town of some size, with services and a historic centre, at the foot of the same mountain system. The area is known for mountain pasture, springs and karst landscapes of the Matese.
