What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 (€289/m²), the four-level farmhouse needs renovation; allowing roughly €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €989/m², far above the local €317/m² benchmark. The quiet green setting and included cellar are positives, but they do not offset the heavy renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
The substantial old farmhouse has appealing green shutters, stonework, a traditional courtyard setting, and a dramatic wooded mountain-and-cliff backdrop. It is roofed and appears to be a genuine house rather than a ruin, but the renovation requirement and lack of interior evidence keep it well below dream-home territory. At €50,000 for 173 sqm, it has real project-value appeal if the structure and services check out.
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€34,000 – €61,000
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.
