Asking EUR 180,000 plus an estimated EUR 200/m² finishing cost yields an effective ~EUR 653/m² vs the regional median ~EUR 371/m², so this is substantially above typical prices; the ad claims 'stato di conservazione ottimo' but notes the ground floor is still grezzo and it omits year and energy class information.
More on the house and the area
Solid 1980s villa with a large, bright living room, working fireplace and lived-in first floor — very usable as-is but with dated decor. A substantial part of the ground floor is unfinished, so this is a partly-complete home that will need work to use the whole footprint.
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€26,000 – €44,000
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.
- Ground floor is reported/in photos to be in 'grezzo' (unfinished) — a large part of the 398 m² needs completion.
- Only one bathroom shown for a very large 12-room house — plumbing/fixtures likely need work or addition.
- Exterior shows staining and dated finishes; facade and outdoor stairs need cleaning/refresh.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the upper Trigno valley in the Sannio hills, with the Molise Apennines close around it. The Trigno river basin shapes the local landscape, with wooded slopes and farmed ridges typical of inland Isernia province. The nearest stronger centre is Isernia, which provides the main services, shops and rail connections for this part of Molise. This area is known in broad terms for hill farming, olive groves, woods and small historic settlements of the Alto Molise interior.
