At €90,000 (€360/m²), the price looks low, but the listing explicitly requires complete internal and external renovation. Adding an estimated €275,000 renovation cost brings the effective total to about €1,460/m², far above the €377/m² local comparison level; the listing also does not state the building year or exact condition details.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial historic rural complex with attractive aged masonry, timber shutters, tiled roofs, mature greenery, and a generous private garden. However, the entire property needs complete renovation and the gallery shows no livable interior, so it is a characterful investment project rather than a home someone could realistically occupy soon.
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€99,000 – €146,000
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.
- Complete internal and external renovation is required; the property is not currently move-in ready.
- The photos show no finished living spaces, kitchen, or usable bathroom.
- The secondary outbuilding appears particularly deteriorated, with potentially significant structural and roofing 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.
The area around
Location score 58/100This is the hilly Samoggia valley on the first Emilian Apennine slopes, with mixed farmland, woods and scattered villages. The Samoggia stream runs through the area. The nearest larger city is Bologna, with full city services and rail connections, and Modena is also within ordinary driving distance. The area is known for Lambrusco Grasparossa around the Bazzano-Castelvetro hills and for food production in the Bologna-Modena foothill belt.
