At €75,000 for 250 m², the estimated renovation budget of about €175,000 brings the effective cost to roughly €1,000/m², well above the local €317/m² benchmark. The very brief description, only two photos, and lack of information on building status or energy performance add uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
The surrounding village architecture has some historic character, but it does not demonstrate that the farmhouse itself is attractive. At 250 sqm it could have potential, yet the renovation requirement and lack of property-specific photos make this currently feel like an unverified project rather than a dream home.
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€50,000 – €88,000
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.

- The two photos appear to show a church and a town-square building, not the listed farmhouse.
- No interior, private exterior, garden, land, kitchen, or bathroom condition is visible.
- The property is explicitly described as needing renovation, and its livability cannot be verified from these images.
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.
