What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €74/m² vs baseline median €291/m², which looks like a huge discount, but the 800 sqm almost certainly refers to the lot, not building area ("lotto di circa 800 mq"). The property is a rustico "allo stato grezzo" (raw/shell state) — not habitable and effectively a ruin requiring full renovation (~€1000-1500/m² of built area). The agency explicitly disclaims accuracy of all published data and technical characteristics, a contradictory-claims red flag. Days on market is 0, so no track record. The apparent price advantage is misleading because the baseline compares habitable stock; full-shell reconstruction costs will erode any margin. Suitable only for a renovation-savvy buyer who can verify actual buildable volume on site.
More on the house and the area
Large 800sqm brick rustico in the hills of Barbiano (Felino, Emilia Romagna) at just €59k (€74/m2), an eye-catching price. Exterior has genuine historic character with exposed brick, arched openings and vaulted ceilings inside, plus cast-iron columns. Photo 5 shows a panoramic hillside view through an open doorway — a real draw. However, it is a full renovation project in raw, cluttered condition with visible structural cracking on the gable wall. Appeal rests on potential and price rather than move-in wow.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,200/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€317,000 – €468,000
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.
- Completely gutted/grezzo state requiring full renovation
- No bathrooms, bedrooms, or utilities in place
- Structural concerns visible (cracked/bulging brickwork on gable)
- Cluttered with debris and stored materials
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.
