What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €37,000 for 80 sqm, the asking price is €462/sqm, close to the very low local baseline of €432/sqm, so the raw price alone is not a bargain. But it is a detached house with 13 photos and a clear description; assuming a full restoration at about €1,100/sqm, the total project cost is high, which keeps this in the good-not-exceptional range rather than a diamond.
More on the house and the area
There is some authentic rustic character here, especially the heavy timber structure and the upper rooms with beams and old floors. But this is not a ready dream home: the interiors are tired, damp-marked and dated, with kitchen and bathroom needing major renewal. At €37k it has bargain appeal as a real house rather than a ruin, yet the wow is modest until renovated.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €47,000
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.

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.
