See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €39,000 for 40 sqm, the asking price is €975/sqm; with a typical renovation budget of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,675/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €472/sqm, so it screens as expensive for this catalog. The description also includes attic/cellar spaces and only one real bedroom area, and after 349 days on market it must be treated cautiously.
More on the house and the area
This is a humble village house with a few appealing rustic touches, especially the rough timber-beam attic room and the ivy-softened exterior. The main kitchen, bedroom and WC make it more than a shell, but it looks dated and only partly usable without renovation. At €39k it has bargain appeal, yet the overall wow is modest rather 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.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.

The area around
Location score 61/100The area is in the northern Apennines, in the hill belt south of Reggio Emilia. The Enza valley is nearby, and the Secchia valley is not far to the east. The Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano lies to the south, with the main protected ridges and higher summits reached farther up the mountains rather than around the village itself. The nearest ski area is Cerreto Laghi, roughly an hour’s drive depending on road and season. The nearest town of size is Reggio Emilia, which provides the full set of city services, rail links and a historic centre. This part of the province is known for wooded ridges, pasture, small stone hamlets, and for Parmigiano Reggiano production in the Apennine foothills.
