In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €77,060 (€494/m²), the 156 m² villa is already above the local reference level of €359/m², and its renovation could add about €109,200, bringing the effective cost near €1,194/m². The listing does not state the number of bathrooms or provide energy information, while the remote inland location offers little additional value.
More on the house and the area
This is a large independent rural house with substantial potential: 156 m², three bedrooms, two reported bathrooms, storage areas, and approximately 1.7 hectares of agricultural land. However, there is no visual evidence of architectural beauty or views, and the unfinished first floor plus renovation status mean it is not currently a ready-to-live-in dream 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€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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The property is explicitly in need of renovation, with the first floor still under construction.
- Habitability certification and energy certification are missing.
- No actual interior, exterior, garden, or view photos are provided; the listing relies on maps and presentation slides.
- Auction purchase requires careful review of the survey, legal status, utilities, and access.
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.
