At €27,210 (€446/m²), this habitable 61 m² apartment with independent heating and a cellar has an estimated all-in cost of about €39,410, or €646/m²—slightly below the €660/m² local benchmark. Ciciliano is inland and the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has, so the discount is modest rather than exceptional.
More on the house and the area
Inside, this is a bright, stylish and apparently habitable apartment with generous open space, skylights, modern flooring and a distinctive exposed-brick feature wall. The surrounding historic building has atmospheric old-town character, but its façades and courtyard are visibly neglected, so the home feels more like a polished urban apartment than a classic Italian dream house.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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 listing data shows 0 bathrooms despite a shower appearing in the photos; verify the legal and functional bathroom situation.
- The attractive interior contrasts sharply with the heavily deteriorated shared exterior courtyard and façades.
- No view, garden, terrace, or outdoor living space is shown.
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.
