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 €68,000 for 220 sqm, the asking price is just €309/sqm, but the home is only partially finished: one floor is completed while the second floor and ground-floor spaces are still unfinished, so I used about €700/sqm renovation. That puts the effective cost near €1,009/sqm versus a €625/sqm Lazio townhouse baseline, so it is not cheap on a fully finished basis, but the large size, independent structure, panoramic setting, and substantial land keep it in the good range if you specifically want a customizable multi-family project.
More on the house and the area
The big plus here is the dominant hillside position, open valley views and a useful amount of land around the house. One floor appears genuinely livable now, with heating, bathrooms, kitchen and a fireplace, but much of the property is unfinished raw space rather than ready-to-use home. This feels more like a practical large country house with potential than an immediate dream-home showstopper.
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€44,000 – €77,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Exterior is plain and utilitarian rather than romantic.
- Upper floor and ground-floor spaces are unfinished and need significant work.
- Finished apartment looks dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Rural setup includes septic tank rather than mains sewer.
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.
