What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 292 sqm, the ask is only €205/sqm, but with a needs-renovation estimate of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €905/sqm, well above the local baseline of €412/sqm. The listing includes extra deposit buildings and land, but part of the area is non-residential/deposit space and there is a pedestrian right-of-way easement on the courtyard, which weakens the deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely usable country house with kitchen, bathrooms, heating and several finished rooms already in place. The wooded plot gives it some privacy and nature, but the house itself is visually plain and the exterior needs attention, so the dream factor is modest rather than striking. Good value for the size, though more practical than romantic.
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€58,000 – €103,000
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.

- Exterior looks tired and lacks real architectural charm
- Interiors are usable but dated, with some rooms needing refurbishment
- Outbuildings appear basic/storage-grade rather than finished living space
- Courtyard has a pedestrian right-of-way over the first section
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.
