At €80,000 for 62 m², the asking price is €1,290/m²—about 2.7 times the local low-price benchmark before renovation. The listing does not say what condition the apartment is in, although the historic farmhouse setting and panoramic position add some appeal.
More on the house and the area
A highly characterful Tuscan farmhouse apartment with a beautiful brick-and-stone facade, traditional arches, beamed ceilings, and sweeping views across fields toward rolling hills. The 62 sqm home appears genuinely livable, with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and study, though the finishes are dated and the outdoor/storage areas need tidying.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and modest, though they appear usable immediately.
- The property is an apartment within a historic farmhouse, with some shared access rather than a fully independent house.
- Garden/outdoor areas appear somewhat rustic and may require maintenance; ancillary storage spaces are cluttered.
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.
