At €375/m², the asking price is close to the local benchmark of €367/m², but the listing does not say whether the home is move-in ready. Allowing roughly €200/m² for likely upgrades, including the energy-class G efficiency work, gives an effective cost near €575/m².
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable, spacious country house with two kitchens, two bathrooms, a huge rooftop terrace, enclosed courtyard, and a striking mountain backdrop. The rustic shutters, fireplace/kitchen areas, and traditional furnishings add character, while the interiors are functional rather than beautiful and show age and some damp-related wear. At €75,000 for about 200 square meters plus garden space, it has strong dream-home potential for someone willing to refresh it.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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 fully usable but dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Visible damp staining and worn exterior surfaces warrant a careful inspection of moisture, roof, and drainage.
- The 200-square-meter garden is separate from the house and currently looks overgrown and undeveloped.
- The large rooftop terrace has weathering and may need maintenance or waterproofing checks.
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.
