Price €13,000 plus estimated renovation €700/m² (€28,000) yields effective €41,000 or ~€1,025/m² vs regional median €310/m², so the renovation burden makes it overpriced. Listing has been on market 300 days (stale listing).
More on the house and the area
A tiny, roofed village house with a rustic fireplace/oven that gives real old-world character. It’s a solid bargain for weekend refuge or a downsized project, but requires renovation and offers no outdoor space or special views.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.

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 71/100The Mainarde mountains are the local range here, on the Molise–Lazio side of the central Apennines. The upper Volturno valley is the immediate landscape, with wooded slopes, pasture and small mountain hamlets. The area lies by the Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise around the Mainarde sector. The nearest ski lifts are the small station of Campitello Matese, roughly 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes by road, and they are not in the immediate area. The nearest town of some size is Venafro, which has a full set of daily services and a historic centre; Isernia is farther and functions as the provincial town. The wider area is known for mountain walking, transhumance country and Samnite archaeology, with the Roman site of Altilia-Sepino farther away and not part of the immediate landscape.
