Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €77,000 (€592/m²), this 130 m² country house is priced well above the local €413/m² reference; allowing about €250/m² for updating the older portion makes the effective cost roughly €842/m². One section is renovated and the property is described as immediately livable, with two living areas, garage, terrace and land, but the remote hillside location and energy class G limit the bargain potential.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, well-kept country house with a charming tiled courtyard, balcony, hillside setting, exposed beams, brick arches, and multiple fireplaces. One section appears renovated and ready to use, while the adjoining portion is usable but more old-fashioned, giving the property character and flexibility rather than a full renovation project.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- One of the two connected portions has dated 1970s/80s finishes and may benefit from modernization.
- The surrounding land is partly steep, so outdoor use and maintenance may be limited.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating costs and future efficiency work.
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 58/100The cluster is in the Staffora valley in the Oltrepò Pavese, with low Apennine ridges and wooded hills around it. The Staffora river runs through this part of the valley. Salice Terme and Rivanazzano Terme are the nearest larger centres in the lower valley, with everyday services and spa facilities, and Voghera is the nearest substantial town with rail links, hospitals and full shopping. This area is known for mixed farming, woodland and Oltrepò wine country further north on the Pavia side of the hills.
