What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 for 215 sqm the asking price is just €209/sqm, but assuming a full renovation need of about €700/sqm the effective cost is about €909/sqm, well above the local sub-€100k baseline of €392/sqm. The description is mostly an investment pitch with projected rental income and gives little concrete evidence of actual condition, so the low ask is not enough to make it a strong deal.
More on the house and the area
The mountain and valley views from the upper terraces are the real wow here, and the carved historic entry adds a nice touch of character. Inside it is a genuine, usable house with kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms already in place, but it feels dated and would benefit from refreshing rather than inspiring as-is. At €45k for 215 sqm, it has strong dream potential if you value space and scenery over immediate beauty.
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€43,000 – €76,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and rather dark, with a basic 1970s-90s finish.
- Long balconies/veranda areas look tired and may need maintenance.
- Exterior appeal is modest from the street despite the old stone portal.
- Listing mentions investment ideas more than proven turnkey lifestyle polish.
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.
