See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €75,000 asking price is attractive at €417/m², but the interiors are completely unfinished; allowing about €700/m² puts the effective cost near €1,117/m² versus a local comparison level of €567/m². The listing does not state the building year, energy performance, or exact legal status of the planned interior layout.
More on the house and the area
A highly photogenic stone townhouse with attractive shutters, exposed masonry, traditional rooflines and strong historic character in a quiet hamlet setting. However, it is a substantial 180 sqm shell that still needs complete internal finishing, so it is a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready 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€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.
- The house is only renovated externally and is completely unfinished inside.
- No interior photos are provided, so floors, utilities, kitchen, heating and bathroom readiness are unknown.
- Access is directly from a small paved village road, with limited evidence of private outdoor space.
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 cluster is in the Modenese Apennines, with the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine ridge within the local landscape. The Scoltenna valley runs through this part of Frignano, with wooded slopes, pasture and cultivated clearings around the town. The Parco del Frignano lies nearby on the higher Apennine ground to the south-west. The nearest ski area is Cimone, with lifts around Sestola and Montecreto at roughly 20–30 minutes by road depending on the exact base station. Pavullo is the main service town of this section of the mountains, with schools, shops and hospital services. This area is known for Apennine chestnut country and for the Frignano mountain landscape between Modena and the Tuscan border.
