What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 for 550 sqm, the ask is just €162/sqm, but the listing explicitly says full renovation is needed, so the effective cost is about €862/sqm including ~€700/sqm works. That is well above this low-stock baseline of €387/sqm, and the ad has only 1 photo plus inconsistent size figures (550 sqm in the listing vs 448 sqm in text), which adds uncertainty despite the large accessory spaces and private garden.
More on the house and the area
This is a very large farmhouse complex with useful volume, a private garden and strong price-per-square-metre appeal. But the photo shows a plain roadside property with visible deterioration rather than an immediately dreamy home, and the listing itself says it needs full renovation. It feels more like a big project with potential than a beautiful, ready-to-live Italian dream house.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€109,000 – €193,000
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.

- Only one exterior photo, so interior charm and real condition are unproven
- Described as needing complete renovation
- Outbuildings/rooflines show visible wear and partial deterioration
- Roadside village-edge setting is practical but not especially scenic
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.
