Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €567/m², the asking price is already about 55% above the local €367/m² reference, and allowing roughly €500/m² for the unspecified work brings the effective cost near €1,067/m². The independent building has useful garage, heating, balcony and terrace features, but the listing does not quantify the renovation needed.
More on the house and the area
A cheerful independent palazzina with a striking coral facade, full-length balcony, decorative ironwork, and a lovely mountain backdrop. The home appears solid and genuinely usable, with tiled rooms, fitted kitchen, heating, two bathrooms, and generous garage space, but it is dated and needs cosmetic refurbishment rather than offering a polished dream interior.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €29,000
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 interiors are livable but dated, with repainting and cosmetic repairs needed.
- Visible ceiling/plaster deterioration and exposed wiring suggest some maintenance work.
- The large garage/storage area is cluttered and utilitarian rather than finished living space.
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 41/100Bellona lies on the inland plain north of Naples, between the Volturno basin and the first hills below the Campanian Apennines. The Volturno River runs a few kilometres to the north. Capua is the nearest substantial town and has a large historic centre, Roman remains and rail connections; Caserta is also nearby with the Royal Palace of Caserta, a UNESCO site, but that is outside the immediate landscape and does not define the setting around the cluster. This part of the province is known for mixed farmland on the plain, small towns and road links between Capua, Caserta and the interior.
