See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €1,596/m², far above the €430/m² local comparison level. The central location, garden and 1,000 m² of land add value, but the required works and pending energy certification weaken the deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable country house with a spectacular mountain panorama, a large garden, and a pleasant covered terrace. The interiors are modest and old-fashioned but complete, furnished, and functional, so this is a refresh-and-improve home rather than a ruin or empty shell.
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€15,000 – €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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The house is dated and explicitly needs renovation, especially cosmetic modernization.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a three-bedroom layout.
- The garden appears partly overgrown and the sloping access may not suit everyone.
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 72/100The cluster lies in the hills of the Cilento interior, with the Alburni mountains to the northeast and the Calore Lucano river valley nearby. It is within the Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park. The nearest larger town is Roccadaspide, which has everyday services, while Agropoli on the coast is the nearest bigger centre with a rail station and broader shopping and administration. Paestum is on the coastal plain to the west, with the UNESCO archaeological site and the Sele plain beyond. This part of inland Cilento is known for olive groves, mixed hill farming and small hill towns.
