In the listingRenovatedSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 for 70 sqm, the asking price is €986/sqm; with only minimal post-renovation allowance (~€50/sqm, renovated in 2007 and described as in order), the effective cost is about €1,036/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €472/sqm. Good livability and central village location help, but it still sits at more than double the baseline, so it looks weak on price rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, renovated small townhouse rather than a dream-property wow home. It looks move-in ready with kitchen, bathroom, floors and heating in place, but the aesthetic is plain and dated, with no notable view, character or private outdoor appeal. At the price, it feels functional value more than romantic Italian fantasy.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €50/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€1,000 – €2,000
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.
- No view, terrace, or private outdoor space; courtyard is shared.
- Interiors are fully usable but very basic and visually dated.
- Some rooms appear low-ceilinged/tight and the layout is compact.
- Parking is not private, only nearby street parking.
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
