At €42,000, estimated all-in cost is about €268/m² (€165,400 including modest habitable-property works), below the local €317/m² reference. The large farmhouse has a garage, fireplace and mountain views, but 0 bathrooms and only four photos make the claimed habitable condition less certain.
More on the house and the area
A highly photogenic mountain farmhouse with traditional shutters, a generous grassy setting, mature trees, and glimpses of the surrounding Alpine landscape. The house appears roofed and genuinely usable, with a working-looking fireplace and furnished rooms, though the interiors are old-fashioned and the missing bathroom listing is a significant practical concern.
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€41,000 – €69,000
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.
- No bathroom is listed, so essential plumbing and sanitation should be verified.
- Interiors are very dated and basic, with likely cosmetic modernization needed.
- Roof, utilities, insulation, and year-round access should be checked.
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.
