At €75,000 (€882/m²), the asking price is already well above the local €570/m² benchmark, before accounting for an estimated €25,500 of work. The house has useful garden, parking, cellar and lake access, but the listing does not state its condition, energy performance or construction year.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, livable mountain-borgo home with a working-looking kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, cellar, and a pleasant rural setting with hills, garden/field space, and a characterful stone outbuilding. The house is practical rather than spectacular, with dated interiors and limited standout views, but it offers authentic Italian village character and real everyday usability.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€9,000 – €14,000
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 fully usable but very dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a three-bedroom house.
- The separate stone outbuilding appears rustic and may need substantial renovation before use.
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.
