Estimate: €60,000 + renovation €16,800 (84 m² × €200/m²) = €76,800 → ~€914/m², versus regional baseline €575/m². The house is habitable with heating, garage and many photos (positives), but the effective €/m² is about 59% above the baseline, so it's overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Attractive, ready-to-live-in single-storey farmhouse with beautiful exposed wood beams, terracotta floors and a covered porch opening onto private olive/fruit trees. The house is habitable and comes with garage and land, making it a real, affordable country home though modest in size and needing only light updating.
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€6,000 – €9,000
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.
- Small layout — effectively one bedroom (may be tight for a family)
- Rural access via gravel driveway
- Cosmetic updating likely (kitchen/bathroom finishes)
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.
