Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €48,000 (€218/m²), the house requires substantial transformation; allowing about €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost to roughly €918/m², well above the local comparison level of €335/m². The central village location, terrace, garage, cellar, and private courtyard add appeal, but the listing does not confirm habitability or the building’s condition.
More on the house and the area
A substantial traditional village house with shutters, decorative cornice, wrought-iron balconies and an exceptional panoramic terrace overlooking the Piedmont hills and vineyards. The home is clearly usable, with a functioning kitchen, bathrooms, heating and solid finished floors, though its 220 sqm are dated rather than move-in polished. At €48,000, the combination of space, terrace and views creates strong dream-home appeal.
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€44,000 – €77,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- Exterior plaster shows weathering and maintenance needs.
- The listing description says it is ready to be transformed, so utilities and structural condition should be verified.
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.
