At €58,000 (€322/m²), this is well below the local €422/m² reference, with the main seven-room house described as being in good condition and offering a private courtyard, garage and panoramic position. Allowing about €200/m² for energy upgrades and the attached rustic buildings keeps the effective cost near €522/m²; the remote hamlet location and energy class G temper the upside.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial two-level village home with a genuinely attractive panoramic hillside view, large balcony, private outdoor space and traditional shutters, tiled roofs and rustic outbuildings. The principal living areas are finished, floored and include a functioning-looking bathroom, heating and multiple bedrooms, so this is a real home rather than an empty shell. Its strong price and extra buildings add appeal, although the interiors are dated and the detached rustic is a renovation project.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- The main house appears usable but dated, with cosmetic updating likely needed.
- The detached rustic, barn and wood shed are in substantially rougher condition and would require renovation before conversion.
- The photos do not confirm the condition of all utilities, roof structures or legal conversion potential.
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.
