At €55,000 (€262/m²), the purchase price is below comparable local stock, but the listing does not state the condition and describes a historic former tavern/shop with energy class G. Allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation puts the effective cost near €962/m², making this a substantial project rather than a clear bargain in a remote mountain location.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely large, independent former village inn with a panoramic balcony, attractive mountain views, a garden area, and authentic period atmosphere. It appears structurally roofed and usable rather than a ruin, with finished floors and functioning rooms, but the interiors are old-fashioned and visibly need renovation and redecoration.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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 clearly dated, with peeling plaster, damp-looking areas, and substantial cosmetic refurbishment needed.
- Only one basic bathroom is shown for a large 210 sqm house; kitchen and utilities should be verified.
- The property is in a high, rural mountain setting, so access and year-round services may require checking.
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.
