At €79,000 (€346/m²), the price is close to the local benchmark, but this three-level rustico is described as needing extensive personalization; estimated total costs rise to about €1,046/m² after renovation versus roughly €352/m² locally. The listing does not state the property’s legal residential status, condition, utilities, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful old Lombard farmhouse with extensive exposed stonework, traditional tiled roofs, a private courtyard garden, and an evocative former cellar/workroom. However, the property is clearly a substantial renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in home: the balconies and interiors are severely aged, and the overall presentation suggests significant work before comfortable occupation.
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€45,000 – €80,000
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 appears necessary, including the deteriorated wooden balconies and finishes.
- Interiors are dark, cluttered, and provide no convincing evidence of immediate livability.
- Only one bathroom is listed for 228 sqm, and utilities/technical systems are unclear.
- Structural and legal checks should confirm the condition of the old roof, masonry, and outbuildings.
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.
