What it really costs

Move in as it is
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The home is described as immediately habitable, but the estimated effective cost is about €700/m² (€87,000 plus roughly €34,800 of light works), around 95% above the local €359/m² benchmark. Its generous garage, private outdoor space and village-center location add value, but do not fully justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious country home with a warm furnished interior, exposed-style ceiling beams, a substantial fireplace, and traditional furnishings. Its strongest lifestyle appeal comes from the private green space, productive-looking garden and broad views over vineyards and rolling countryside; the exterior and ancillary buildings are more utilitarian and would benefit from refreshing.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
- The exterior, garage, outbuildings, and garden look functional but somewhat dated and untidy.
- The countryside outlook is attractive, though the home is in a village setting rather than a secluded rural location.
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.
The area around
Location score 58/100The area is in the Val Tidone hills, with vineyard slopes and mixed farmland between the Tidone and Luretta valleys. The Tidone River and the small Lago di Trebecco are within this area. The nearest larger centre is Piacenza, which has full city services, rail links and major shops and hospitals. This part of western Emilia is known for wine, especially Gutturnio and other Colli Piacentini production.
