The €20,000 asking price is very low at €211/m², but obsolete systems, windows, roofing and timber elements imply roughly €850/m² in renovation, bringing the effective cost near €1,061/m² versus €409/m² for comparable Campania country homes. Its historic-center Cilento location and existing hospitality project add potential, but the listing does not clearly confirm the legal residential status of all levels.
More on the house and the area
This is an atmospheric old village house with vintage tiled kitchen details, traditional proportions, and a strong sense of historic character. However, it is not move-in ready: the damaged ceilings, aging roof elements, obsolete services, and general deterioration make it a serious restoration project rather than an immediately usable home. At €20,000, the price is compelling if the buyer is prepared for substantial renovation.
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, €850/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€19,000 – €34,000
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, including the roof/woodwork and badly deteriorated ceilings.
- Electrical and plumbing systems are obsolete, and windows also need work.
- The advertised panoramic views and terrace potential are not directly demonstrated in the photos; the project is only a starting point, not completed work.
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 71/100The cluster is in the Cilento hills, with the lower slopes of Monte Stella and other ridges of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano area within this radius. The Alento river valley is the main local landform. Much of the surrounding territory falls within the Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park. Agropoli is the nearest larger town for daily services and rail connections, and Vallo della Lucania is another local service centre inland. The area is known for olive groves and for the inland hill country behind the Cilento coast.
