Although habitable with heating and a garage, the estimated all-in cost is about €109,000, or €1,090/m², versus roughly €317/m² for comparable Veneto properties. The large premium is hard to justify in inland Salizzole, especially for a one-room farmhouse.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, habitable 100 sqm farmhouse with a large living room, fitted kitchen, bedroom, heating, and garage. The arched window and decorative ceilings add modest character, but there is no standout setting, exterior appeal, garden, or view, and the interiors feel dated rather than dreamlike.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- No exterior, garden, terrace, land, or meaningful view is shown.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated and highly personalized, with a particularly rough utility/bathroom area.
- The listing facts indicate only one bedroom and one bathroom, so the layout should be verified.
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.
