What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €492/m², the €29,500 asking price is already above the Campania country-house baseline of €420/m²; allowing roughly €12,000 for light works brings the effective cost to about €692/m². The walkable village-center location and 19 photos help, but the unspecified condition prevents a stronger score.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, usable village home with two bedrooms, tiled floors, working heating, and a particularly attractive fireplace and traditional wood-paneled interiors. The historic stone lane and hillside setting add Italian character, while the house itself is practical but plainly dated rather than beautifully restored.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Very dated finishes, fixtures, and bathroom; likely needs cosmetic updating.
- Exterior plaster shows cracking and weathering that should be inspected.
- No kitchen area is shown in the photos, despite the listing mentioning a kitchenette.
- Access is via narrow, steep-looking stone village lanes, with no private outdoor space visible.
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.
