The 210 m² farmhouse is listed at €60,000 (€286/m²), but the described substantial renovation implies roughly €1,100/m², bringing the effective cost near €1,386/m²—far above the local €362/m² benchmark. The listing does not state the condition, bathrooms, or energy performance, adding uncertainty to a large three-level project.
More on the house and the area
The property has exceptional Alpine valley and mountain views, authentic stone construction, old timber details, and a small private garden in a picturesque hillside hamlet. However, it is a 210 sqm rustico rather than a usable home: the roof and several structures appear seriously deteriorated, with no bathroom and extensive restoration required.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€83,000 – €123,000
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.
- Major renovation project: the main roof appears collapsed or severely deteriorated.
- No bathrooms are listed, and the interiors are not shown as habitable living space.
- Steep village access and multi-level layout may make construction and everyday use challenging.
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.
