Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The well-maintained 58 m² apartment is described as ready to live in and includes a garage, private parking space, cellar and terrace, but at €93,000 its effective cost is about €1,800/m² after modest allowance for updates—well above the local €773/m² benchmark. The listing does not state the energy class, building costs or exact condition of the systems.
More on the house and the area
A bright, exceptionally clean and fully furnished apartment with a genuinely attractive, usable terrace and pleasant green hillside views. The kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, heating, elevator, and finishes all appear move-in ready, making this a real home rather than a renovation project; its main limitation is that the beauty is polished and comfortable rather than historic or spectacular.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Apartment living means shared-building costs and rules.
- The gallery does not show the garage, parking space, cellar, or pool.
- The view is pleasant rolling countryside and residential surroundings, not a dramatic mountain or sea panorama.
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.
The area around
Location score 52/100The area sits on the first hills where the Reggio Emilia plain meets the northern Apennines. The Secchia river runs nearby and shapes the valley east of the town. Within roughly 15 km the landscape is a mix of wooded ridges, cultivated slopes and small industrial areas tied to the ceramic district around Sassuolo and Scandiano. The nearest larger town is Sassuolo, which has full daily services and a substantial urban-industrial belt. Farther south the Modenese and Reggiano Apennines rise toward the main ridge, but the higher mountain scenery is outside the immediate area. This part of Emilia is known for ceramics and for the transition from plain to foothill countryside.
