Avellino Property for Sale: Cheap Flats and Villas in Irpinia

Avellino is the capital of its province in Campania, set among hills about an hour from Naples by road. Irpinia is wine country, with Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino and Taurasi among its best-known appellations, and has chestnut forests and mountain villages. The area was hit by a major earthquake in 1980, so building age and seismic standards deserve attention.

Buyers are usually local families, Italians returning to their roots, and foreigners attracted by low prices and countryside. English-speaking services are limited.

Non-EU buyers may be subject to reciprocity rules, but in practice most nationalities can buy. Registration tax is typically 2% of the cadastral value for a main home and 9% for a second home, plus notary, agent and mortgage-related costs. A geometra (surveyor) should check planning compliance and cadastral records. Italian rural property often has title or abuse issues, so do not skip due diligence.

Salerno, Caserta and Naples are the closest large Campanian centres. Campobasso and Isernia lie in Molise, and Foggia is in Puglia. The Italy page covers the rest.
