What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 for 80 m² and described as completely to renovate, estimated all-in cost reaches about €143,000, or €1,788/m² versus roughly €571/m² for comparable homes in Lazio. The attached land and good position help, but the listing gives no usable details on rooms, utilities, building condition, or renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
This is a charming old stone-and-tile farmhouse with authentic rustic character, mature trees, olive trees, and a pleasant hilly setting. However, it is a full renovation project rather than a move-in home, and the lack of interior photos makes its real condition and livability uncertain.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €47,000
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 property is described as totally needing renovation, with no usable interior shown.
- The roof and exterior appear standing, but utilities, bathrooms, kitchen, and structural condition are unknown.
- Access is via a narrow hillside road and the substantial garden will require clearing and 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.
