What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €97,000 for 150 m², the property is €647/m² before renovation; with an estimated €165,000 restoration cost, effective cost rises to about €1,747/m² versus the Campania baseline of €420/m². The sea is only 5 km away, but the listing includes cellar/deposit space and does not clearly identify the habitable area.
More on the house and the area
A substantial independent two-level house with balconies, a generous garden, fruit trees and a beautiful green mountain setting in a quiet hill village. It appears to be a real roofed home rather than a ruin, but the advertised renovation requirement and lack of interior evidence keep it in the charming-project range rather than dream-home territory.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €88,000
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 property is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with no interior photos to verify current habitability.
- The hillside setting and narrow sloping access may complicate renovation work and everyday access.
- The garden appears productive but overgrown and will require maintenance.
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.
