The listing describes a three-level farmhouse but the area is recorded as only 1 m² and the condition is not stated; with an estimated renovation cost of €700/m² the effective price is ~€25,750/m². That is far above the regional baseline of €421/m², so this appears overpriced or the data is inconsistent.
More on the house and the area
A tiny village house with a usable roof terrace and genuine mountain/town views — the view is the main selling point. The interior is basic but currently lived-in; expect a fair amount of renovation and to confirm legal/auction details before buying.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€0 – €0
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.
- Visible damp, cracked plaster and general wear — cosmetic and likely structural repairs needed
- Very small/one-room layout shown; no clear dedicated bathroom visible in photos
- Access via steep external stairs and roof access — not wheelchair-friendly
- Listing images show an astalegale (judicial auction) watermark — verify title/auction conditions and extra fees
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 49/100The cluster lies in the inland plain between the Monti Tifatini and the first ridges of the Partenio/Caudini area, in a mixed landscape of cultivated lowland and foothill settlements. The Isclero valley runs through this part of inland Caserta and links toward the Caudina corridor. Caserta is the nearest larger city, with the Reggia di Caserta and full urban services. Naples is part of wider daily-life gravity from this side of Campania, but it is outside the immediate landscape.
