What it really costs
- On the market for a long time

This 148 m² farmhouse is completely to renovate, so the estimated renovation cost is about €1,100/m²; effective cost is roughly €1,269/m² (€25,000 + works), far above the local baseline of €429/m². The very low entry price and historic-center position help, but at 346 days on market it must be flagged as stale and the score is capped at 75.
More on the house and the area
The old stone borgo setting and rustic shell have some authentic character, especially the masonry, beams and fireplace. But this is a serious renovation project, not a charming ready-to-live house: interiors are dark, damp and worn, with outdated bathroom/kitchen and clear repair needs. At €25k for 148 m² it has bargain appeal, yet the wow is held back by condition.
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€59,000 – €87,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated; not move-in ready.
- Visible damp, cracking and very tired finishes throughout.
- Bathroom and kitchen are present but obsolete and likely need full replacement.
- Historic-centre access and parking may be limited.
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.
