At €45,000 (€298/m²), the 151 m² farmhouse matches the local asking-price baseline, but it requires a complete renovation. Adding an estimated €166,100 renovation cost brings the effective total to about €1,398/m², well above the €298/m² baseline; its rural location offers little compensating premium.
More on the house and the area
The genuine property has beautiful rustic stonework, generous grounds and attractive rolling-hill views, with useful outbuildings. However, it is currently a raw, neglected farmhouse rather than a livable home; the romantic interiors shown are only illustrative AI renderings.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€60,000 – €89,000
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 attractive furnished interiors are AI-generated and do not represent the actual property.
- The real farmhouse requires a complete renovation; the photos show an uninhabitable, original-condition structure.
- Utilities, structural stability, roof condition and renovation costs require verification.
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 68/100The site is in the first Apennine hills of Romagna, with wooded ridges and cultivated valleys around the Bidente river system. The Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park lies nearby to the south-west, with the main high forest and mountain area around Campigna roughly 15 km away. Santa Sofia is the nearest small town of some size and has everyday services; Forlì is the main city for higher-order services. This part of Romagna is known for hill villages, chestnut woods and the roads that climb from the plain into the Apennines.
