What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 for 160 sqm, the ask is €494/sqm; assuming a basically habitable country house from the description, a light renovation budget of about €200/sqm brings the effective cost to roughly €694/sqm. That is about 49% above the low-stock baseline of €467/sqm for similar Piemonte country houses, so it looks ordinary to slightly expensive rather than a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable country house rather than a shell: roofed, floored, with a functional bathroom and decent-sized rooms. The setting is green and private enough to feel rural, but the house is visually plain and several interiors show moisture staining, so it feels more like a practical bargain with work to do than a true dream-home wow property.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 habitable but several rooms show visible damp/mould staining.
- Exterior and garden need clear maintenance and tidying.
- No proven standout view or notable historic character from the photos.
- Only one bathroom shown for a fairly large 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.
