The €59,000 asking price looks low at €337/m², but renovation at roughly €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,037/m², well above the local €557/m² benchmark. The description says approximately 152 m² while the listing states 175 m², so the actual size and renovation scope should be verified.
More on the house and the area
A substantial traditional Emilia-Romagna farmhouse with a characterful tiled roof, shutters, original tile floors and a private garden surrounded by greenery. It appears structurally sound and roofed, with functioning rooms and a bathroom, but the interiors are dated, cluttered and clearly require a meaningful renovation before becoming a comfortable 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€35,000 – €62,000
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.
- Substantial renovation and modernization are needed throughout.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed, despite the description mentioning three services.
- The rural setting includes visible farm outbuildings, utility wires and nearby industrial/agricultural infrastructure.
- Energy class G implies potentially high running costs.
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.
