At €700/m² before works, the €70,000 asking price becomes roughly €1,400/m² after allowing €700/m² for the missing windows, flooring and plumbing—far above the local €371/m² reference. The two balconies, valley views and two cellar rooms add some value, but the renovation burden is substantial.
More on the house and the area
The valley views are genuinely impressive, and exposed stonework, the old fireplace and timber roof add strong historic character. However, this is currently an uninhabitable renovation project rather than a usable home, with unfinished floors, missing windows and incomplete plumbing.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.

The area around
Location score 68/100The cluster is in the inland hills of the Cilento area, with the Calore Lucano valley close by and the first ridges of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano mountains within this radius. Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park begins nearby and the Alburni massif is the main mountain backdrop for this part of the province. The nearest larger town is Battipaglia on the plain to the northwest, with major retail, rail connections and access to the A2 motorway; Capaccio Paestum is closer and provides everyday services. Paestum, with the UNESCO archaeological site and museum, lies outside the immediate 15 km landscape but is part of normal regional logistics. This area is known for olive groves, mixed hill farming and as an inland approach to the northern Cilento.
