What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €15,000 for 90 sqm, the ask is only €167/sqm, but with unknown condition for a village country house I assume about €700/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €867/sqm. The local baseline (€450/sqm) is weak because, so this is not enough to call it a bargain; the central position and tourist appeal help, but the likely renovation burden keeps it only fair.
More on the house and the area
The big asset here is the setting: a pretty old village by the main piazza with a genuinely dramatic valley view. Inside, it looks like a real, solid, roofed home with floors, stairs and furnished rooms, but it is very dated and shows some signs of wear, so this is more livable fixer than instant dream house. At €15k for 90 sqm, the price adds strong appeal.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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 dated and need a full cosmetic refresh.
- Visible ceiling staining suggests some moisture/roof checks are needed.
- Photos do not clearly show the kitchen or bathroom condition.
- Likely a village house rather than a true standalone country house.
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.
