See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 (€245/m²), the purchase price is attractive, but a full renovation with no heating could add about €220,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,345/m² versus €377/m² for comparable homes. The 200 m² stone house has character, parking, terraces and a garden, but its remote inland location and extensive works make this a weak deal unless renovation costs are substantially lower.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly characterful stone townhouse in a picturesque historic village, with beautiful brick arches, exposed masonry, timber ceilings, terraces, and a private garden. However, it is clearly a renovation project rather than a move-in home: interiors are basic or unfinished, some spaces appear storage-like, and the property lacks heating.
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€79,000 – €117,000
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; the interiors are largely raw and unfinished.
- No heating is installed, and only one bathroom is listed for 200 m².
- The overgrown courtyard/garden and incomplete-looking areas suggest substantial clearing and building work.
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.
