At €89,000 for 180 sqm, the ask is €494/sqm; with light-modernization costs estimated around €250/sqm from 'richiede interventi di ammodernamento', the effective cost is about €744/sqm. That is well above the local low-stock baseline of €407/sqm, though the large size, central location, garage and private courtyard support some value.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house with solid structure, working bathrooms, heating and a private courtyard with garages, so it feels genuinely habitable rather than a shell. The big draw is space and autonomy in the town center, plus good value for 180 sqm. Visually, though, it is quite plain and dated, with limited charm beyond the courtyard and traditional shutters.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€15,000 – €25,000
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 livable but very dated and need significant modernization.
- Exterior facade and courtyard outbuildings feel plain/utilitarian rather than romantic.
- Photos do not show any scenic views or standout historic interior features.
- Ancillary rustico/garage areas appear more basic storage space than ready living space.
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.
