The description sells a 9,986 sqm terraced plot with olives and a 101 sqm 'casolare', but gives no evidence it is a legal dwelling; with 0 bathrooms and utilities only 'easily connectable', this reads more like rural/agricultural stock than a habitable home. At €59,000 plus roughly €111,100 restoration (€1,100/m²), the effective cost is about €1,684/m² versus a €433/m² baseline, and it has been on market for 769 days.
More on the house and the area
The sea view is genuinely beautiful, and the olive-covered hillside gives it strong dream-value. But the actual building shown is a rustic stone outbuilding with one ruined section, overgrown surroundings, and no habitable interior visible. This feels more like a scenic project than a home you could realistically move into.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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.

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.
