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 €95,000 for 90 sqm, the ask is about €1,056/sqm; with a typical habitable-home allowance of ~€200/sqm, the effective cost is ~€1,256/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €625/sqm. The house is independent and includes 1,000 sqm of garden, cellar and garage, which supports some premium, but on the numbers it still looks clearly above this platform's local baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home with a very atmospheric stone exterior, covered terraces, barbecue area and a lovely olive-filled garden that gives privacy and a tucked-away feel. Inside it is habitable with kitchen, bathroom and finishes in place, but the rooms shown are fairly plain and dated rather than dream-home beautiful. The wow is mainly in the rustic exterior setting and outdoor living, not in panoramic views or standout interiors.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- No real view shown; the setting is wooded rather than panoramic.
- Interiors look dated and a bit dark, likely needing cosmetic refresh.
- Outdoor areas and garden appear shaded/rough and may need 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.
