At €1,190/m² before works, this is already far above the €440/m² local comparison level; allowing roughly €700/m² for an unstated condition brings the effective cost near €1,890/m². The 500 m proximity to the sea is valuable, but the listing does not say whether the house is habitable or needs renovation.
More on the house and the area
The intact roof and traditional low-rise form offer some potential, but the exterior is stark and the property has no visible lifestyle features or views. Interior photos show a raw storage-like shell rather than a usable home, so this is a substantial renovation project despite its proximity to the sea.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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.
- Currently uninhabitable and heavily renovation-dependent.
- Windows and doors are boarded or temporary, with no finished interior living spaces visible.
- Kitchen, bathroom, utilities, flooring and compliance should be verified before purchase.
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.
