What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €412/m², the asking price is essentially equal to the Campania country-house baseline of €420/m², so there is no market discount. The condition, construction year, energy class, and only one bathroom are unclear; allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation puts the effective cost near €1,112/m².
More on the house and the area
A colorful, substantial country house with a generous lawn, mature citrus trees, terraces, covered outdoor space, a fireplace, and attractive mountain views. The interiors are old-fashioned rather than beautiful, but this is a real, roofed and functioning home—not a shell—with mainly cosmetic updating needed.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but visibly dated, especially the kitchen and bathroom.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large eight-room house.
- The house fronts a fairly active road, despite the private garden and mountain setting.
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 in the middle Volturno valley, with low hills and cultivated land around it and the Matese mountains visible to the north within the wider 15 km setting. The Volturno river runs through this part of inland Caserta. The nearest substantial town is Piedimonte Matese, which has the main local services and rail connections for the upper valley. This part of the province is known for agriculture in the Volturno plain and foothills, with small historic centres on the surrounding rises.
