At €85,000 (€386/m²), the villa is already slightly above the local €375/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable property brings the effective cost to about €586/m². The condition, heating, garage, terrace and 22 photos are positives, but the price leaves little margin for a buyer.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, spacious villa with a beautiful planted garden, terrace, mountain-and-valley views, fireplace, garage, and attractive traditional details such as terracotta floors and parquet. The home is not ultra-modern, but it is well furnished, fully fitted, heated, and ready to live in with mainly cosmetic updating needed; at €85,000, the size and setting create a strong bargain effect.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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 clean and usable but noticeably dated, especially the bathrooms and some finishes.
- The large 220 sqm footprint and garden will require ongoing maintenance.
- The property appears semi-detached, so privacy may be more limited than a fully independent villa.
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.
