The €32,000 asking price looks low at €213/m², but the house is explicitly to renovate, bringing estimated total costs to about €137,000 or €913/m²—well above the local €415/m² reference. The description is vague, omits key property details, and gives 140 m² versus the stated 150 m².
More on the house and the area
This substantial old stone farmhouse has appealing masonry, a raised terrace and genuine historic character. However, the interiors are far from livable, with severe grime, moisture staining, peeling plaster, damaged ceilings and an apparently obsolete kitchen, making it a major renovation project rather than a ready Italian home.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
- Extensive renovation is required: interiors are dirty, damp and visibly deteriorated.
- Ceilings, plaster, wiring and plumbing appear outdated or damaged; utilities are not verified.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 150 sqm, four-bedroom property.
- The external stairs, terrace and corrugated roof need careful structural inspection.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Caserta, so the lived setting is an urban plain at the foot of the Campanian Apennine foothills. The Monti Tifatini rise immediately to the north of the city. The Reggia di Caserta and its park are in the city, and the royal complex is part of the UNESCO listing of the 18th-Century Royal Palace of Caserta with the park, the Aqueduct of Vanvitelli and the San Leucio complex. Caserta is the nearest town of size and has the services of a provincial capital. The area is known above all for the Bourbon royal palace and the silk tradition of San Leucio.
