What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 for 75 sqm, the ask is €787/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €987/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €625/sqm, so it does not look cheap on this dataset. Positives are the garage, 300 sqm garden, balconies and immediate usability with only ordinary maintenance mentioned, but the pricing is still above baseline for a non-coastal rural location.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable country house rather than a shell: it has floors, heating, bathroom, fireplace and a balcony with wide mountain-valley views. The setting and private garden give it appeal, but the house is plain and tired, with clear cosmetic wear and some visible maintenance issues. At €59k it feels like a practical, refreshable bargain more than a true dream-home scroll stopper.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Interior is dated and needs cosmetic refresh.
- Visible staining around the fireplace suggests moisture or chimney issues.
- Ground-floor garage/storage area is rough and unfinished.
- Exterior/garden need tidying and some maintenance.
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.
