The €88,000 asking price is €652/m², already well above the local €364/m² benchmark, and the described renovation work adds an estimated €94,500. At roughly €1,352/m² all-in, the private courtyard, garage and good access to services do not offset the high effective cost.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, genuinely usable country home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large terrace and open views across the surrounding farmland toward distant hills or mountains. It has good practical bones, a private courtyard and garage, but the dated interiors, peeling ceilings and tired exterior mean this is a renovation project rather than a ready-made dream 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€27,000 – €48,000
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.
- Clearly requires renovation, including peeling ceilings, worn finishes and exterior repairs.
- The courtyard is mostly paved rather than a landscaped garden.
- Kitchen condition and utility systems are not shown; verify roof, damp and legal compliance.
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 43/100This is the eastern Bolognese plain in the lower Reno valley, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and scattered settlements. The Reno flows nearby, and the area also lies close to the reclaimed wetland belt around the Valli di Argenta and Campotto within roughly 15 km, a regional reserve area with freshwater marshes and birdlife. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and Renaissance walls; Bologna is also part of everyday orbit for services and rail connections but does not change the landscape score. The area is known for arable farming on the Po plain and for the network of reclaimed lowland water landscapes.
