What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 and an estimated €700/m² renovation allowance, the effective cost is about €1,120/m², versus a Campania villa baseline of €374/m². The condition is unspecified, and the description suggests roughly 80 m² of usable area on a 125 m² lot, so the deal lacks sufficient value support.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful old Campanian house with a sunny internal courtyard, original patterned terrazzo floors, vintage shutters, and a pleasing historic atmosphere. It appears to be a real house with functioning bathroom, tiled kitchen, utilities, and usable rooms, but extensive cosmetic and moisture-related renovation is needed before it feels comfortable or fully move-in ready.
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€25,000 – €44,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed for damp, peeling plaster, worn finishes, and likely moisture-related damage.
- One upper room shows a visibly deteriorated ceiling/roof structure that should be professionally inspected.
- No scenic view or meaningful garden is evident from the gallery; the outdoor space is mainly an enclosed courtyard.
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 30/100This is the flat Campanian plain between Naples and Caserta, in the Agro Aversano. The Volturno plain and the dense network of roads, settlements and cultivated land define the surroundings more than any single natural feature. Aversa is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre and services; Naples and Caserta are the larger urban poles for daily life. The area is known for intensive agriculture, especially buffalo farming and mozzarella di bufala production in the wider Caserta plain.
