What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 (€938/m²), even assuming only €200/m² for basic works, the effective cost is about €1,138/m²—roughly 3.4× the Molise country-house baseline of €333/m². The listing is fresh and has 25 photos, but condition and key technical details are missing, with no clear location premium at 32 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
A solid, bright village house with 96 sqm, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, balconies, and a generous tiled terrace overlooking rolling Molise hills. The interiors appear recently refreshed and genuinely usable, with good floors, radiators, functioning bathrooms, and traditional wood details, though the kitchen still needs to be completed. It is more practical and livable than romantic, but the views and terrace give it meaningful dream-home appeal.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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 appears unfinished and will need cabinets/appliances installed.
- The home is quite plain and utilitarian rather than architecturally distinctive.
- Access is via a narrow cobbled village street; verify parking and heating/utilities.
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.
