Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 240 sqm, the asking price is just €271/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €472/sqm, but the description says completely to restore, so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation; effective cost is about €1,371/sqm. Large size, garden, and proximity to Viano services help, but as a full renovation project this is not cheap once works are included.
More on the house and the area
This has real rustic appeal: a substantial stone house in a historic hamlet setting, with a grassy garden and lovely rolling hill views nearby. But it is very much a renovation project rather than a ready home, with barn-like interior spaces and no visible finished living areas. The beauty is genuine, yet the current livability is low, keeping the score in the low 50s rather than dream-home territory.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€95,000 – €140,000
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.

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 58/100This is Apennine foothill country on the edge of the Reggiano hills, with wooded ridges, small valleys and mixed farmland. The Secchia valley lies nearby, and the first higher ridges of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines are to the south. Within about 15 km the main reference town is Castellarano, with everyday services and an old centre; Sassuolo is just beyond that and is the larger urban centre for shopping and work. The area is known for hill agriculture and for its link to the ceramic district of Sassuolo and Scandiano in the wider zone.
