Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 (€891/m²), the home is already well above the local €571/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €77,000 for an unspecified condition puts the effective cost near €1,591/m². The listing describes a five-room house with two bathrooms, cellar and warehouses, but does not say whether it is habitable or renovated.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, genuinely usable farmhouse with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a functioning kitchen, tiled floors, and a traditional fireplace. It feels practical and habitable rather than beautiful, with dated furnishings, plain rooms, and some visible maintenance concerns; the cellar and storage buildings add useful value.
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€22,000 – €39,000
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.
- Interiors are very dated and cluttered, with likely cosmetic refurbishment needed.
- Visible ceiling staining/cracking should be checked for damp or maintenance issues.
- No garden, panoramic view, or attractive exterior is shown in the gallery.
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.
