See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €58,000 asking price looks low at €322/m², but renovating 180 m² at an estimated €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,022/m², well above the local €432/m² benchmark. Two dwellings, a garage, garden and panoramic views add value, but the renovation burden makes this a weak deal unless costs are substantially lower than expected.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, authentic village home with a beautiful rolling-hills view, private outdoor space, balconies, a fireplace, and period details such as shutters and traditional masonry. The main residence is roofed, floored, heated, and includes functioning-looking bathrooms, so it is a real house rather than an empty shell, though it needs modernization. The attached rustic buildings add charm and potential but are clearly project spaces.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €63,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The main house appears usable but needs substantial cosmetic and systems updating.
- The detached rustic/farm buildings are in poor condition and would require major renovation before use.
- Energy class G and older finishes may mean higher running costs and renovation expenses.
- The property is in a rural hillside setting, so access and local services should be checked.
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.
