What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 144 sqm, the asking price is only €451/sqm, but the description stresses spaces to personalize and gives no clear habitable/renovated condition, so I assume about €700/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,151/sqm. The local baseline is weak (only 6 comps, median €578/sqm), so this cannot support a strong bargain claim; good features like garden/pool/terrace help, but missing condition data keeps it only fair.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home rather than a project: finished rooms, bathroom, heating and several characterful timber-beam ceilings make it warm and appealing inside. The outside is much less romantic, with a simple roadside facade, but the terrace and green garden area add some livability. Strong value for the size, though it feels more practical than dreamily beautiful.
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€28,000 – €51,000
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.
- Exterior is plain and sits directly on a road
- Kitchen/bathroom are basic and dated
- No proven scenic views despite the green setting
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.
The area around
Location score 68/100The cluster is in the northern Apennines, in the Reno valley, with wooded ridges and agricultural clearings around the settlements. The area is close to the Corno alle Scale massif and regional park, which lie within roughly 15 km to the south; the nearest ski lifts are at Corno alle Scale, about 30–40 minutes by road from Vergato. Vergato is the nearest service town and has rail links along the Porrettana line, shops and everyday services. Within the same stretch of valley are small Apennine centres such as Grizzana Morandi, an area associated with the painter Giorgio Morandi, and the landscape is typical of the Bolognese mountain fringe rather than of the Po plain.
