What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 190 sqm, the ask is just €342/sqm; assuming ~€250/sqm for updates on a habitable house with windows "to review," the effective cost is about €592/sqm. That sits above the low internal baseline of €412/sqm, so this is not a screaming bargain, but the large size, two autonomous apartments, heating, 20 photos, and panoramic hill setting make it a solid value rather than a trap.
More on the house and the area
The real wow here is the wide open mountain-valley view and peaceful hillside setting. This is not a ruin at all: it looks like a large, solid, genuinely habitable house with kitchen, bathrooms, heating and usable rooms, though the interiors are dated and only modestly attractive. At €65k for 190 sqm, the price strongly boosts the appeal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- Exterior is plain rather than romantic or historic
- Interiors are dated and somewhat dark
- Likely needs cosmetic updating to feel dream-home ready
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.
