Price €23,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (100 m²) gives an effective price of €93,000 → €930/m², well above the local median of €421/m² in Campania; large photo set (40) and just listed, but the high rebuild cost makes this a weak value.
More on the house and the area
Attractive rustic stone farmhouse with a private garden and strong mountain views — the setting is very appealing. The house is partially intact with a usable bathroom and rooms but shows clear signs of neglect (roof tiles, ceiling cracks, vegetation) and will need a sensible renovation to become a comfortable home. Excellent low‑price opportunity for someone willing to restore a characterful rural property.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Property needs renovation — visible cracks, damp stains and general interior refresh required
- Roof/tiled coverings show damage and some openings — likely roof repairs needed
- Overgrown garden and external areas will need clearing and maintenance
- Check utilities and structure before purchase (possible upgrades to heating/electrics/plumbing)
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 56/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Monti Tifatini, the limestone hills between the Caserta plain and the Caudina valley. The Isclero river runs through this area toward the Volturno basin. Caserta is the nearest city of size, with the Royal Palace and full city services.
