See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 167 m², estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,269/m², far above the €441/m² level for comparable homes. The listing offers 40 photos but gives few details about the renovation work or the included land, so the premium is difficult to justify.
More on the house and the area
A characterful old townhouse with a generous private garden and beautiful rolling countryside views, set in a peaceful rural hamlet near Loiano. It is a real, furnished house with a functioning-looking kitchen, bedrooms, floors and roof rather than an empty shell, but it needs meaningful modernization and renovation before reaching its full potential.
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€33,000 – €59,000
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.

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.
The area around
Location score 66/100The area is in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, with wooded ridges and farmed valleys around the Savena valley. The regional park of Monte Sole lies within about 15 km to the north-east, with protected hills, woods and wartime memorial sites. Loiano is on the road between Bologna and the upper Apennines; Bologna is the nearest large city and provides the full range of services, university, rail hub and airport, but it is outside the immediate landscape. The area is known locally for chestnut woods, hiking and the small mountain villages of the Bolognese Apennines.
