What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 for 114 sqm, the asking price is €605/sqm, essentially in line with the local low-end baseline of €590/sqm. Assuming a habitable older 1960 villa with light updates at about €200/sqm renovation, the effective cost is roughly €805/sqm, so this looks like a decent but not exceptional buy; pool/terrace and likely coastal Casalabate support the score.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable single-storey home with a sunny Mediterranean courtyard, mature plants and a big outdoor entertaining area with barbecue. Inside it is basic but livable, with kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms all in place, though several rooms show damp and cosmetic wear. The dream factor comes more from the outdoor lifestyle and low price than from architectural beauty.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Interiors are very plain and dated rather than beautiful.
- Visible wall damp/peeling in several rooms suggests maintenance work is needed.
- Outdoor areas are spacious but quite hardscaped and weathered.
- No proven sea view or pool visible despite the tags.
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.
