What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 for 89 sqm, the asking price is €393/sqm, but with a needs-renovation estimate of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,093/sqm, far above the local baseline of €365/sqm. Positives are the panoramic sea-view setting, garden, and 21 photos, but the value only works if renovation is kept very light.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine dream potential thanks to the sea-and-hills view, original patterned floors, vaulted rooms and a sizeable garden. It is a real house rather than a shell, with kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms in place, but it needs noticeable non-structural renovation and cosmetic upgrading before it feels charming to live in. At €35k, the view and retained character create strong value appeal.
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€17,000 – €31,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Needs clear updating throughout; interiors are very basic and dated.
- Kitchen and bathroom are usable but old, so expect refurbishment rather than immediate comfort.
- Some ancillary/storage space looks rough and damp-looking from the photos.
- Facade/street presence is modest rather than particularly beautiful.
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.
