The €70,000 asking price is €304/m², about 10% below the local €336/m² reference, and the property includes garages, garden and 25,300 m² of land. However, after allowing roughly €200/m² for modernization of this energy-G home, the effective cost rises to about €504/m²; the listing does not state its condition or construction year.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, clearly livable country house with a generous covered terrace, panoramic valley and mountain views, mature olive trees, and extensive private land. The interiors are functional rather than beautiful, but include a large fitted kitchen, fireplace, bedrooms, bathrooms, heating, and ample garage space, making this a real home rather than a renovation shell.
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€15,000 – €26,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Water currently comes from a private well, with a possible public-network connection.
- Rural hillside location about 3 km from the town center; heating uses LPG.
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.
