See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 (€742/m²), the property needs substantial interior renovation despite its newly rebuilt roof and approved project, bringing the estimated all-in cost to about €1,442/m² versus roughly €352/m² for comparable local stock. The garage, terrace and building land add potential value, but the listing does not say whether the existing structure is currently habitable.
More on the house and the area
The exterior has real charm, with a new-looking roof, warm stucco, exposed stonework, arched doors, large paved terraces, and a generous landscaped plot. However, the gallery and description present a rustico awaiting major internal refurbishment, with raw ancillary spaces and a planned mezzanine, so it is a beautiful project rather than a usable home today.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.
- This is a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home; the interiors shown are largely unfinished storage or shell-like spaces.
- The approved project includes internal rebuilding and a mezzanine, so renovation costs, permits, utilities, and final habitability should be verified.
- The property is on a hillside, with multiple levels, terraces, and potentially demanding access 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.
The area around
Location score 58/100The cluster is in the Staffora valley in the Oltrepò Pavese, with low Apennine ridges and wooded hills around it. The Staffora river runs through this part of the valley. Salice Terme and Rivanazzano Terme are the nearest larger centres in the lower valley, with everyday services and spa facilities, and Voghera is the nearest substantial town with rail links, hospitals and full shopping. This area is known for mixed farming, woodland and Oltrepò wine country further north on the Pavia side of the hills.
