What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €288/m², the asking price is about 61% below the €732/m² local comparison level; even allowing roughly €32,000 for ordinary updates, the effective cost is about €488/m². The description presents a spacious two-level home with garden, veranda, balcony and 40 photos, but it does not state the actual condition, so renovation needs should be verified.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
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.
The area around
Location score 72/100The area sits in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. The Santerno valley runs through Firenzuola, and the upper Sieve basin is close by. Part of the territory falls inside the Parco nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna, and the ridge around Monte Falterona is nearby. The road crossing of the Futa and Raticosa passes is within the local mountain area. Florence is the nearest major city for services, while Imola and Mugello towns are the nearer everyday centres. The area is known for sandstone ridges, beech and chestnut woods, and mountain pasture on the Apennine watershed.
