At €1,538/m² before works, this €80,000 home is already far above the local €440/m² reference; allowing roughly €36,400 for unspecified renovation raises the effective cost to about €2,238/m². The 500 m sea proximity is attractive, but the very sparse description does not state the condition, year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a compact townhouse with a sound-looking roof and a potentially useful street-front layout, but the exterior is plain and offers no proven view or distinctive historic character. Inside, it is clearly unfinished and not currently livable, requiring substantial completion work before it becomes a 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€10,000 – €18,000
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.
- The interior is an unfinished construction shell with raw floors, exposed masonry and no visible kitchen or bathroom fittings.
- All openings are boarded or temporarily covered, so habitability and window installation still need verification.
- The fenced forecourt is gravel/construction space rather than a finished garden or terrace.
- The 500 m proximity to the sea is stated in the listing but not visually proven in the photos.
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.
