At €80,000 (€544/m²), the asking price is already above the local comparison level of €416/m²; allowing roughly €400/m² for updates to this stone farmhouse puts the effective cost near €944/m². The listing confirms connected utilities and 25 photos, but does not say whether the property is immediately habitable or detail its renovation needs.
More on the house and the area
A handsome, substantial stone farmhouse with excellent masonry character, traditional shutters, balcony, and a private gated garden. The description indicates a real 147 sqm house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, heating, utilities, and a connected kitchen—not an empty shell—though the interior condition remains unverified.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- Interior finish and overall maintenance are not shown in the available photo.
- The listing calls it a rustico, so some updating may still be needed despite connected utilities.
- No notable panoramic view is evident.
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 58/100The area sits in the inland Apennine hills on the Campania–Basilicata–Puglia watershed, with open ridges, cultivated slopes and wind-exposed uplands. Lake Saetta lies by Lacedonia and the Ofanto valley is nearby. The nearest larger centres are Melfi and Ariano Irpino, which provide the main services and transport for this part of the interior. This is a borderland of grain fields, pasture and hill villages rather than a place with a single widely known landmark.
