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 €59,000 for 77 sqm, the ask is €766/sqm, but with a likely renovation budget around €900/sqm the effective cost is about €1,666/sqm, far above the very low local baseline of €350/sqm. The text is also ambiguous: it is presented as a 'fabbricato' with render images and says it can become a dwelling, which weakens confidence versus a straightforward habitable house listing.
More on the house and the area
There is genuine rustic character here: old brick and stone walls, a dramatic timber roof, and the potential to create a beautiful loft-like home. But today it is not a usable house—it's an empty, unfinished shell with cluttered storage spaces, so the wow is mostly future potential rather than present livability. The low price helps, but this is a serious project, not a move-in Italian dream home yet.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €27,000
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.

- The attractive interior image is a render, not the real current condition.
- This is a raw renovation project with no finished kitchen, bathroom, or living-ready rooms.
- Some roof/light gaps and very rough interiors suggest substantial works before habitation.
- The setting is a small inner courtyard with no open views.
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.
