The €55,000 asking price (€227/m²) is below the local €330/m² benchmark, but the listing explicitly requires major renovation across 242 m². At an estimated €1,100/m² renovation cost, the effective total is about €321,000 (€1,327/m²), making this a weak deal despite the large garden and generous size; the listing does not specify the exact condition of the building systems.
More on the house and the area
This is a large traditional country house with attractive period furniture, patterned floors, wood paneling, and a genuinely usable furnished living area, kitchen, bedrooms, and bathroom. However, much of the property is an unfinished or badly deteriorated shell with damp walls, bare concrete floors, and old services, so it is a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€96,000 – €142,000
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.
- Major renovation required, with damp, peeling finishes, exposed wiring, and several raw/unusable rooms.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 242 sqm property.
- The garden is mentioned but not shown in the photos; utilities and structural condition need verification.
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.
