The €18,000 asking price is exceptionally low at €138/m², but renovating 130 m² at roughly €700/m² could bring the effective cost to about €109,000, or €838/m²—well above the local €444/m² reference. The fireplace, cellar and panoramic view add appeal, but this is a substantial renovation project rather than a cheap ready-to-live-in home.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine 130 sqm house with a dramatic wooded mountain setting, hillside land and distant panoramic views, offered at an exceptionally low price. The main structure is roofed and has floors, rooms and a bathroom, but interiors are very dated and damp, while the rear annex is severely deteriorated. It is a renovation project with real living-home potential rather than a simple move-in property.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.

- Substantial renovation is needed, including damp repairs, plastering and general modernization.
- The attached rear structures appear badly deteriorated or partially collapsed.
- The home is directly beside a narrow road, and utilities, heating and structural condition should be verified.
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.
