In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 plus an estimated €26,000 for updates, the effective cost is about €854/m²—roughly double the €423/m² level for comparable homes in the area. The large 9,500 m² plot, garage, cellar, balconies, and two bathrooms add value, but the remote setting and substantial price premium limit the deal quality.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, spacious and clearly livable country home, with a working-looking kitchen, two bathrooms, heating, fireplace, furnished bedrooms, and generous outdoor space. Its strongest appeal is the combination of privacy, fruit trees, substantial land, a balcony, and open rolling-hill views. The interiors are dated rather than beautiful, but the stone floors, fireplace, greenery, and usable condition make it a convincing affordable Italian home rather than a renovation shell.
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 – €14,000
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.
- The house is habitable but has dated finishes, furnishings, and kitchen/bathroom styling.
- The large grounds and surrounding greenery will require ongoing maintenance.
- Access appears semi-rural, with a worn approach road and sloped driveway; energy performance is unknown.
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 cluster sits on a hill at the western fringe of the Daunian Pre‑Apennines (part of the southern Apennines). The Ufita river valley and its small tributaries shape the local agricultural landscape. Within about 15 km are small towns and villages such as Flumeri, Melito Irpino and Villanova del Battista; the Arbëreshë (Italo‑Albanian) village of Greci is nearby. Land use in the area is mixed agriculture: olive groves, vineyards, arable fields, pastures and patches of deciduous woodland typical of inland Irpinia. There are no national parks or protected coastlines within 15 km. The nearest alpine ski area (Laceno, Bagnoli Irpino) is roughly 40–50 km away by road. The nearest larger provincial cities are Benevento and Avellino at several tens of kilometres; the Apulian plain and the city of Foggia lie to the east. The wider Irpinia area is known for Aglianico wine, chestnuts, olive oil and truffles, and these agricultural products figure in the local economy.
