See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €44,900 for 305 sqm, the ask is only €147/sqm, but with a full restoration estimate of about €1,100/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,247/sqm, far above the €472/sqm baseline for similar stock. Roof redone in 2014 is a positive, but it has been on the market 395 days, which is a clear pricing/liquidity warning.
More on the house and the area
The real wow here is the surprisingly wide countryside view and the usable sloping land behind the house. The building itself looks like a large, roofed village house with potential rather than a finished home, and the listing explicitly says it needs complete renovation. At this price and size it has bargain appeal, but today it reads more as a serious project than an immediately dreamable home.
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€121,000 – €179,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Full renovation needed; interiors are not shown and likely not currently livable.
- Exterior is plain and somewhat tired despite the redone roof.
- Semi-rural roadside village setting is functional rather than romantic.
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 lies in the first Reggiano Apennine hills, with wooded ridges and small cultivated valleys around the Crostolo valley. The Crostolo runs through the area. The nearest larger town is Reggio Emilia, which provides the main rail links, services and historic centre. Within this part of the province the landscape is known for mixed hill farming, woodland and the transition from the Po plain to the Apennine foothills.
