At €89,900 plus an estimated €91,000 to finish (€700/m²), the effective cost is about €1,392/m² versus €276/m² for comparable homes in Piemonte. The solid structure, existing utility connections and garage are positives, but the villa is explicitly unfinished and the total investment is very high.
More on the house and the area
The villa has a solid, attractive single-story exterior with broad covered porches and a genuinely appealing rural setting beside vineyards and open fields. However, every interior is still a bare construction shell with unfinished floors, exposed brickwork and no fitted bathrooms or kitchen, so this is a substantial renovation project rather than a livable home.
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.
- Unfinished shell requiring flooring, bathrooms, kitchen, fixtures, doors and final systems.
- Not currently move-in ready despite existing electrical and water connections.
- Energy class G; verify completion costs, permits and utility installation status.
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.
