See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €28,000 (€179/m²), the house is attractively priced upfront, but estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €137,200, or €879/m², well above the €417/m² local benchmark. Its large size, independent layout, heating and 20 photos are positives, but the remote inland location and substantial renovation needs limit the deal quality.
More on the house and the area
A substantial 156 sqm independent mountain townhouse with a real garden, attractive Alpine views, wooden floors, shutters, a working kitchen, heating, two bathrooms, and multiple usable bedrooms. It is not a ruin or empty shell, but the dated finishes, exterior wear, and visible ceiling damp mean renovation is part of the ownership dream. At €28,000, the space, scenery, and livability create a compelling bargain.
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€31,000 – €55,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Visible damp or mold staining on at least one bedroom ceiling suggests moisture investigation and repairs.
- Exterior plaster, paths, fencing, shutters, and drainage appear to need maintenance.

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.
