At €480/m², the asking price is 19% below the local comparison level, but estimated habitable-property costs bring the effective price to about €680/m², above that benchmark. The listing mentions autonomous heating and a kitchen, but it does not state the bathroom situation or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a photogenic, traditional townhouse with a warm ochre façade, ornate stone window surrounds, wooden shutters, a flower-filled balcony, and a neighboring stone building. The facts describe an 81-square-metre habitable home with autonomous heating and a kitchen, but the absence of interior photos and the unclear bathroom situation keep it from reaching dream-home territory.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 gallery shows no interior rooms, bathroom, or kitchen, so actual livability and finish quality cannot be verified.
- The advertised aerial and panoramic images are explicitly illustrative and do not represent the property or its immediate surroundings.
- The listed bathroom count is zero, which needs clarification despite the description calling the home habitable.
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.
