This is sold as a cantina/deposito (18 m²) in central Piano di Sorrento and is described as storage, not a dwelling. Price €33,000 (~€1,833/m²) vs regional baseline ~€430/m²; it cannot legally be used as a residence, so it's a veto.
More on the house and the area
Great central location in Piano di Sorrento (close to shops and the sea), but the photos show a raw cellar/storage room rather than a habitable apartment. Lovely spot for storage or a low-cost investment, not a dream home without major conversion and approvals.
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€1,000 – €2,000
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.
- Not a home — this is a cantina/cellar (storage) with no bathroom or kitchen
- Very small (18 m²) with bare, unfinished walls and basic lighting — not move-in ready
- Conversion to living use would require significant work and likely permits; access is via shared building/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 87/100The cluster sits on the Sorrentine Peninsula with the Monti Lattari rising immediately inland. The coastline is on the Gulf of Naples (Golfo di Napoli) with Cape Sorrento and small coves and headlands facing the island of Capri. Capri lies a few kilometres offshore and is served by regular ferries and hydrofoils from Sorrento/Piano di Sorrento. The Punta Campanella Area Marina Protetta covers the tip of the peninsula and nearby waters. The Parco Regionale dei Monti Lattari occupies the interior hills of the peninsula with footpaths and rural settlements on the slopes. There are no ski lifts within the local 15 km radius; mountain skiing is only available farther inland. The nearest larger town is Sorrento (adjacent), which provides ferry and hydrofoil connections to Capri, Ischia and Naples, a Circumvesuviana rail link, tourist services, shops and a historic town centre. The area is known for lemon cultivation and limoncello production, and for marine and day-trip tourism to Capri and the Gulf of Naples.
