What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 (€756/m²), the 78 m² farmhouse is already 82% above the Campania baseline of €416/m²; assuming €700/m² for unspecified renovation, its effective cost rises to about €1,456/m². The 1,410 m² of land and stone character add appeal, but the rural inland location and missing condition data do not justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
A handsome traditional stone farmhouse with a highly photogenic façade, generous private land, mature trees and broad mountain views. The interiors appear solid, floored and immediately usable, with functioning bathrooms and bedrooms, though they are basic and show some cosmetic wear; the missing kitchen view is the main uncertainty.
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€16,000 – €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.
- The kitchen is not shown, so its presence and condition are unclear.
- Some walls and exterior areas look neglected and will need cosmetic maintenance.
- The balcony and house sit directly beside a local road; utilities and legal details are not confirmed.
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.
