Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €55,000 price is attractive at €294/m² versus a local reference of €358/m², but the listing does not state the condition of the 187 m² home. If substantial renovation is needed, the effective cost could approach €1,000/m², limiting the bargain; the double garage and additional buildings are positives.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, substantial rural home rather than an empty shell, with several furnished bedrooms, a working kitchen, bathroom, and traditional details such as shutters, terrazzo-style floors, and an adjoining stone structure. Its appeal is more authentic and practical than visually spectacular: there are no standout views, landscaped grounds, or memorable interiors, and the property would benefit from modernization and exterior maintenance.
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€37,000 – €66,000
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.
- The exterior render and outbuildings look weathered and will likely need cosmetic or maintenance work.
- Interiors are furnished and clearly usable, but dated throughout, with only one bathroom for a five-bedroom house.
- Roof, utilities, heating performance, and the condition of the additional buildings or land are not confirmed.
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 61/100The cluster is in the Val Nure on the first Ligurian Apennine slopes, with wooded ridges and farmed valley sides. The Nure river runs through the area. Farther up the valley, the road climbs toward Passo del Mercatello and the higher Apennine crest; the nearest proper ski area is Prato Spilla in the Parma Apennines, roughly 2 hours by road, so it is not part of the immediate landscape. The nearest city of size is Piacenza, with full services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. The upper Val Nure and nearby Val Trebbia are known for mixed woodland, small stone villages and summer walking country.
