At €83,000 for 70 sqm, the ask is €1,186/sqm; with light upgrade costs of about €100/sqm, effective cost is about €1,286/sqm versus a very low local baseline of €290/sqm, so this is expensive for our sub-€100k stock. The 'renovated' claim is weakly supported by only 3 photos and basic heating via wood/pellet stoves, and the listing has been on the market 789 days, which is a clear negative.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely attractive stone farmhouse with a nicely restored exterior, traditional shutters, and a peaceful green setting. It looks like a real, usable home rather than a shell, helped by the stated renovated condition, furniture, bathroom, and heating. The wow comes more from rustic livable charm than from dramatic views or luxury features.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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€2,000 – €4,000
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.
- Only exterior photos are shown, so interior charm and finish are unproven.
- Heating appears to rely on wood/pellet stoves rather than a full modern system.
- Garden is not fenced.
- Setting seems rural and quiet, which may mean more isolated day-to-day living.
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.
