Price €77,100 for 5,152 m² = €15/m² vs regional baseline €345/m². Using 'Needs renovation' at €700/m² yields an effective ≈€715/m² (price + renovation), well above the local median; listing has many photos and features but does not separate living-area from the very large terreno, which inflates the area used here.
More on the house and the area
A very atmospheric village house with original beams, stone cellar and a wide terrace overlooking forested valley — plus a huge parcel of land and multiple outbuildings. The main building is roofed and partly furnished so it’s a realistic liveable project, but expect substantial renovation, structural work on wooden balconies/galleries and clearing of clutter/outbuildings.
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€1,020,000 – €1,808,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Needs significant renovation and decluttering inside—kitchen and living rooms are usable but dated.
- Wooden gallery/floorboards and some outbuildings look unstable and will need structural repairs.
- Many detached deposits/barns are in poor condition (projects) and utilities/insulation upgrades likely required.
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.
