What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €916/m² before improvements, the €76,000 asking price is about 2.5 times the local comparison level; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified works makes the effective cost still higher. The house has a garden, cellar, parking and three bathrooms, but the listing does not state its condition, construction year or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable country house with a productive, leafy garden, pergola, mountain-hill outlook, fireplace, and some rustic character. The kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and utilities are all present, but the home feels very dated and cluttered rather than immediately polished or dreamlike.
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€6,000 – €9,000
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 fully usable but dated, crowded, and likely need cosmetic modernization.
- Several garden outbuildings and covered structures appear rough or improvised.
- Heating is LPG, and the listing provides no clear condition or energy-class information.
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 61/100This area lies in the first hills and valleys southwest of Bologna, on the transition from the Po plain to the Bolognese Apennine foothills. The Samoggia valley is the main local landscape feature. The nearest larger city is Bologna, with a major historic centre, rail connections and the airport. Bazzano, now part of Valsamoggia, has the Rocca dei Bentivoglio on its hill above the town. Monteveglio, also in Valsamoggia, has the hilltop abbey area and is inside the Parco regionale dell'Abbazia di Monteveglio, now part of the wider Emilia Orientale protected area. The area is known for vineyards, mixed farmland and the Lambrusco Grasparossa zone.
