Why this price is what it is

At €85,000 (€447/m²), the house already sits above the local €386/m² benchmark and still requires renovation. Estimated works of about €133,000 bring the effective cost to roughly €1,147/m²; the 4 km distance from the sea and included land provide some value, but not enough to offset the renovation burden.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

A substantial independent country house with a charming old fireplace, original shutters, exposed timber roof structure, and generous surrounding greenery. It is a real roofed and floored home rather than a ruin, but the lived-in areas are very dated and visibly affected by damp and cracking, so it needs serious renovation before becoming a beautiful, comfortable home.

Minimum to live in it€350–500/m²
€67,000 – €95,000

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.

€114,000 – €171,000

All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.

Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.

€228,000 – €285,000

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€38,000 – €67,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • The house needs substantial renovation, including damp-damaged interiors, plastering, fixtures, and likely systems.
  • Visible wall and ceiling cracks require a professional structural inspection.
  • The large attic/mansard appears unfinished and may not be approved as habitable space.
  • Only one bathroom is shown, and utility condition is unclear.

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.
