What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €38,000 for 140 sqm, the asking price is just €271/sqm; assuming a habitable condition from the description, the effective cost is about €471/sqm including ~€200/sqm light modernization. That is still a solid value for this stock, and 17 photos plus a detailed description support the listing.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine borgo atmosphere: a handsome old stone-center setting, some exposed masonry, and a fireplace give it real Italian character. The big plus is condition—it's clearly a functioning, usable home with kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and floors already in place, not a shell. The wow is more 'authentic and affordable village house' than breathtaking dream property, but at €38k for 140 sqm it feels very appealing.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 real open view, terrace, or garden shown.
- Interiors are livable but fairly plain and dated in style.
- Ground-floor rustic/storage space looks basic and semi-finished.
- Old-town access means narrow pedestrian-style lanes and stairs.
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 78/100The Matese mountains rise immediately west of Campochiaro, with the massif dominating this part of inland Molise. Campochiaro sits at the edge of the WWF Oasi Guardiaregia-Campochiaro, a large protected area on the Matese slopes with gorges, springs and beech woods. The Matese Regional Park spans this mountain area on the Molise-Campania border. The nearest ski area is Campitello Matese, about 30-40 minutes by road, on the high plateau inside the massif. Bojano is the nearest town of some size, with services and a historic centre, at the foot of the same mountain system. The area is known for mountain pasture, springs and karst landscapes of the Matese.
