This is a judicial auction (procedural risks) with a €6,990 starting price. With an estimated €600/m² for works (roof recently fixed) the effective cost is about €59,800 total (~€679/m²), so it's vetoed because it's sold at auction.
More on the house and the area
Located in Calitri’s historic centre with original stone walls and wooden beams that give real character, but the photos show a heavily damaged roof area and unfinished, debris-filled interiors. This is a bargain auction project rather than a move-in home — expect full renovation and installation of services.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €31,000
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.
- Heavy roof damage and visible holes — substantial structural/roof repairs likely required
- Interior photos show raw attic/clearance debris and temporary supports; no finished rooms are visible
- No heating and no evidence of a kitchen or bathroom; full utility installation expected
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 57/100The area sits in the Apennine hills of Alta Irpinia, with cultivated ridges, small valleys and wind-exposed uplands around Calitri. The Ofanto river valley lies nearby and shapes part of this landscape on the Campania–Basilicata side. Monticchio and its volcanic lakes are beyond the immediate area, so they are a day-trip feature rather than part of the local setting. The nearest larger centre is Melfi, which has services and a substantial historic core with its castle. This part of inland Irpinia is known for hill agriculture, olive groves, cereals and small historic towns rebuilt in part after the 1980 earthquake.
