See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000, the house is only €312/m² upfront, but a three-level stone farmhouse requiring full renovation could add about €160,000, bringing the effective cost near €1,312/m². That is far above the local €288/m² benchmark; the panoramic setting and 700 m² of adjacent land provide some value, but not enough to offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
The panoramic Apennine setting, independent stone farmhouse character, mossy roof, old shutters, and surrounding land create genuine visual appeal. However, this is clearly a rustic renovation project rather than a mostly usable home: the interiors are dark, worn, cluttered, and in need of major modernization.
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, €1,000/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €56,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is required throughout; the interiors are very dated and poorly maintained.
- Utilities, bathroom functionality, structural condition, and roof performance are not clearly verified.
- Access is via a narrow rural road, and the 700 sqm land appears largely informal/unlandscaped.
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 is known locally for mountain villages and for outdoor walking routes in the upper Nure valley.
