Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €87,000 (€1,088/m²), the home appears habitable, but its estimated effective cost is about €1,288/m² versus roughly €400/m² for comparable local stock. The 1 km sea distance, gardens and garage add appeal, but the listing does not state the property's condition or construction year.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, well-maintained two-level home with a working-looking kitchen, tiled interiors, air conditioning, a fireplace, covered verandas, and attractive private outdoor space. The garden and extra 105 sqm plot add real lifestyle value, while the near-sea location and €87,000 price make it a convincing bargain. Its setting and architecture are pleasant rather than spectacular, but it feels immediately livable rather than a renovation project.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- The home is clearly usable but the interiors are dated and heavily furnished, so some cosmetic updating may be desirable.
- No sea view is shown; the appeal is proximity to the beach rather than a spectacular outlook.
- Only one bathroom is listed for the two-bedroom layout.
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.
