See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €93,000 (€641/m²), this dated but apparently usable villa is already about 53% above comparable local pricing before improvements. Allowing roughly €300/m² for modernization brings the effective cost near €848/m²; the G energy rating and missing condition details weaken the case despite the garden, garage, and solid structure.
More on the house and the area
A solid, spacious three-sided villa with a private garden, garage, balcony, bright rooms, and ample living space at a relatively attractive price. It is clearly a real, usable home rather than a ruin, but the dated interiors and neglected garden make it more of a practical renovation project than a dream Italian retreat.
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€15,000 – €24,000
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.
- Dated finishes and kitchen/bathroom require modernization.
- Private garden is substantially overgrown and needs clearing.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a six-bedroom layout; energy class G.
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.
