At €3,000 (€100/m²), the entry price is exceptionally low, but this 30 m² rustic one-room property has no bathroom and likely needs substantial work. Allowing about €900/m² puts the effective cost near €30,000 (€1,000/m²), above the local €688/m² benchmark; the listing does not state its legal residential status or exact condition.
More on the house and the area
This tiny Volturino property has some authentic character, including exposed stonework, old wooden doors, new ceramic flooring, and a very low auction price. However, it is not yet a complete home: the fireplace is unfinished, there is no bathroom, and the single-room layout plus shared utilities limit everyday livability.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€6,000 – €11,000
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.
- Only 30 m² and described as a single room, with no bathroom listed.
- The fireplace is unfinished and the interior is still cluttered with construction equipment.
- Water and boiler systems are shared with other properties; auction and legal checks are essential.
- The listing warns that images may be indicative rather than of the actual property.
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.
