In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €612/m², the asking price is above the local €500/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable home gives an effective cost of about €812/m². Being 500 m from the sea and having a garage, heating and outdoor space add value, but the listing does not state the number of bathrooms or energy class.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable seaside villa with a spacious covered terrace, private garden, garage, cellar, and attractive mature Mediterranean greenery. The home is habitable rather than a renovation shell, but its dated finishes, plain architecture, and neglected garden keep it well below dream-home territory.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Dated interiors and exterior finishes will likely need cosmetic updating.
- The garden appears overgrown and will need substantial maintenance.
- No sea view is shown, despite the property being advertised as 500 m from the sea.
- Auction-sale listing suggests careful checks of occupancy, title, and legal status are essential.
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.
