The €15,000 asking price looks low, but a major renovation of 80 m² brings the estimated total to about €67,000, or €838/m²—well above the local €260/m² reference. The roof is already renovated, but the listing does not say whether bathrooms, utilities, or other essential systems are present and functional.
More on the house and the area
This is an attractive 1800s rural farmhouse with a sound-looking rebuilt roof, traditional shutters, old masonry, and a private green plot. However, the interior is essentially a derelict shell with severe deterioration, exposed masonry, damaged ceilings, and no visible bathroom or kitchen, so it is a major restoration project rather than a usable home.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €650/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €28,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Complete renovation required; the interiors are empty, heavily deteriorated, and show major cracking.
- No bathroom or kitchen is visible, and the house is not currently habitable.
- Structural condition and the extent of masonry and floor repairs require professional assessment.
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.

This area is known for mixed hill farming, woodland, and the transition from Piedmont hill country toward the Ligurian Alpine valleys.
