Listed price is €382/m2 (€84k / 220 m2), slightly below the Veneto median of €409/m2, but with an estimated €200/m2 renovation the effective cost rises to ~€582/m2—well above the regional median. The listing omits the property condition and energy class and gives only a very short description.
More on the house and the area
A solid, intact hillside townhouse with exposed wooden beams, attic bedrooms and a garage — a real, liveable home that just needs cosmetic renovation. Pleasant rural/valley setting and small terraces give nice views; bring a refurbishment budget for damp/finishes and to freshen the interiors.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Cosmetic work needed (peeling plaster, repainting, declutter).
- Bathrooms/finishes look dated — budget for upgrades.
- Steep drive/terraced site and limited outdoor space; access/parking tight.
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.
