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 €69,000 for 155 sqm, the ask is €445/sqm, slightly below the local baseline of €472/sqm. But the home is only partially renovated, so using ~€250/sqm renovation gives an effective cost around €695/sqm, which makes it only a middling deal despite the roof/windows already updated and the panoramic setting.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home with a lovely open hillside view, balcony and private land, not a ruin or raw project. The timber-beam ceilings and terracotta details add warmth, but the exterior is plain and the interiors feel modest and dated rather than dreamily styled. At the price and size, it has genuine charm and live-in potential with room to improve.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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 pretty
- Interiors are habitable but dated and need cosmetic updating
- Only one bathroom shown
- Some lower-level spaces appear more like cellar/storage than finished living area
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 71/100The area is in the northern Apennines, in the hills of the Reggio Emilia province. The Secchia valley lies to the east and the Enza valley to the west, and the landscape around Casina is a mix of wooded slopes, pasture and small cultivated clearings. Pietra di Bismantova, the isolated sandstone massif above Castelnovo ne' Monti, is within the local area and is the main named natural feature. Much of this part of the Apennines falls within the Parco Nazionale dell'Appennino Tosco-Emiliano. The nearest town of some size is Castelnovo ne' Monti, which has the main local services and shops for the mountain area. The zone is known for Parmigiano Reggiano production and for the Matildic castles of the Reggio hills, including the castle remains at Sarzano near Casina.
