At €99,000 for 250 m², the asking price is €396/m², essentially identical to the local €390/m² benchmark before renovation. The main house is described as spacious with potential, but the listing does not say its condition and includes several ancillary buildings requiring work, so the true usable value needs verification.
More on the house and the area
A well-kept country house with a sunny garden, covered outdoor sitting area, mature trees, and sweeping views across the Emilia-Romagna hills. The main dwelling appears roofed and habitable, while the additional brick farm buildings add character but require substantial renovation. The 3,800 sqm of land and three garages make this a genuinely attractive rural-living property rather than just a pretty facade.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€29,000 – €49,000
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.
- The main house looks sound and usable, but interiors, systems, and exact move-in condition are not shown.
- Several accessory buildings are clearly renovation projects, including a partially open-roof brick structure.
- Access is via a rough, sloping lane; utilities, heating, and legal status 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.
The area around
Location score 56/100The area sits in the first Parma Apennine foothills, with cultivated hills and small wooded ridges rather than high mountains. The Taro valley is the main natural corridor nearby, and the Parco Fluviale Regionale del Taro lies in this part of the province along the river system. For everyday services the reference city is Parma, with rail links, hospitals, universities, and a large historic centre. This part of the province is known for food production linked to Parma, including cured meats and Parmigiano Reggiano, and for the road and rail corridor that follows the Taro towards the Cisa pass.
