Price €180,000 for 263 m² plus assumed €200/m² renovation → approx €232,600 total, or ~€885/m², well above the regional median of €405/m²; the listing does not state the property condition so I assumed habitable, which still leaves this as an overpriced find given its inland location (49 km from the sea).
More on the house and the area
Large, well-lit country house with roomy, move-in-ready interiors and multiple kitchens/bedrooms — genuinely livable as-is. It’s comfortable rather than spectacular: solid, simple finishes and no clear scenic views or historic features in the photos, so expect mostly cosmetic work if you want more character.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- No exterior/garden photos provided so outdoor space and views cannot be verified
- Mixed and somewhat dated finishes in places — cosmetic updating likely wanted
- Energy class/building year not provided
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 68/100The cluster sits in the inland hills at the foot of the Matese mountains. The Matese Regional Park lies within the local area, with wooded slopes, limestone ridges and upland terrain around the upper Volturno basin. The Volturno river system is the main watercourse of this part of northern Campania. The nearest ski area is Campitello Matese, roughly 1 to 1.5 hours by road depending on the route. Piedimonte Matese is the nearest larger town and has the main local services, shops and rail connections for the area. This part of the Matese is known for mixed mountain countryside, olive groves, woods and small historic hill settlements.
