See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (requires tribunal paperwork), which is a deal-killer for many buyers. Effective price after an estimated €200/m² renovation is about €349/m² (€91,013 total), close to the regional baseline of €371/m², so the auction process—rather than price—drives the low score.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable 1986 villa in a small Molise hill village with usable rooms, stone/arched cellar and a small plot — a real, liveable home rather than a ruin. It’s not especially photogenic but sits by woods and offers lots of space at a very low price, so it’s a good bargain if you’re willing to update the dated interior and confirm services/conditions.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
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.
- Dated interiors and finishes — cosmetic renovation likely needed to modernise.
- Photos show cluttered cellar and some storage areas — verify condition of basement/structural elements.
- Limited/ordinary village views and narrow access road; check utilities and energy performance documentation.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Matese–Mainarde Apennine country, with wooded ridges and hill slopes around the upper Volturno basin. The Volturno valley lies nearby, and the area is known for mountain pasture, woodland and small stone villages. The nearest larger town is Isernia, which has the provincial services and a substantial historic centre. The Santuario di Maria Santissima Addolorata di Castelpetroso is a known pilgrimage site in the immediate area. Campitello Matese, the nearest ski area, is roughly an hour’s drive and does not sit within the local 15 km landscape.
