At €55,045 for 1,000 m², the effective cost is about €255/m² after allowing €200/m² for a habitable home, versus roughly €306/m² for comparable local stock. The villa has extensive amenities and 33 photos, but the listing does not state the number of bathrooms or energy class.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roofed and apparently livable family home with a functioning kitchen, heating, covered outdoor space, garage and some traditional character such as the arched interior opening. It is more practical than beautiful, with dated décor and no clearly documented private panorama or garden experience. The low price relative to the stated size gives it some bargain appeal, but this is a modest home rather than a dream-property showcase.
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€66,000 – €112,000
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.
- Interiors are habitable but dated and visually ordinary, with likely cosmetic updating needed.
- No bathroom is clearly shown in the gallery, so the stated bathroom count should be verified.
- The impressive mountain backdrop appears in a town street photo, not as a confirmed private view from the property.
- The unusually large 1,000 sqm figure and exact division between house, garage, cellar, and outdoor space should be checked.
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.
