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 €79,000 for 184 sqm, the ask is €429/sqm, slightly above the local baseline of €412/sqm; with partial works still needed (entire second floor to renovate, attic insulation incomplete), I estimate about €350/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €779/sqm. Solid positives are the redone roof/balconies/windows, 19 photos, garden, and central village location, but this is more a decent livable-project than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable village house rather than a shell: roof redone, windows updated, heating present, and the lower floors look basically habitable. The side garden and terrace add nice everyday livability, but the house is visually plain and the top floor shows clear renovation needs with damp and damaged plaster. Good value for the size, more practical than dreamy.
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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €36,000
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.
- Upper floor needs renovation.
- Some visible damp/peeling plaster and ceiling damage.
- Interiors are dated and only partly attractive.
- No proven scenic views or standout historic features.
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.
The area around
Location score 58/100The cluster is in the Val Luretta hills on the first Apennine relief south of Piacenza. The Luretta valley and the surrounding ridges are the immediate landscape, with mixed woods, fields and small hill villages. The Ligurian Apennines rise farther south, but the higher mountain scenery is not inside the immediate area. Piacenza is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. This part of the Piacentino is known for vineyard and mixed farm country and for fortified hill villages and castles scattered through the valleys.
