At €49,000, this 125 m² farmhouse requires complete renovation; using an estimated €1,100/m², the all-in cost is about €186,500, or €1,492/m². That is far above the local €290/m² benchmark, with no meaningful location premium at 15 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
This is a traditional Emilia-Romagna farmhouse with old beams, tiled floors, weathered shutters and a private rear garden. However, it is an uninhabitable renovation project rather than a livable home, with severe interior deterioration and no finished services visible.
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€50,000 – €73,000
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.
- Completely to renovate, with no usable kitchen or bathroom visible.
- Extensive damp, peeling plaster, exposed masonry, damaged walls and aging timber structures.
- Structural, electrical, plumbing and roof condition require professional verification.
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 55/100This cluster is in the built-up area of Ravenna, so the immediate surroundings are an urban plain rather than open countryside. The Adriatic coast around Marina di Ravenna, Punta Marina and Lido Adriano is within about 15 km. The Po Delta Regional Park reaches the Ravenna coast with pinewoods, wetlands and protected lagoon environments around Classe, the Pialassa and the southern edge toward Cervia. Ravenna is the nearest town of size and has the city's full services and the UNESCO monuments of the early Christian and Byzantine centre, including the mosaics for which the city is known.
