What it really costs

The listing explicitly says only the second-floor apartment is for sale together with 50% of the basement and 50% of the land, so this is not full ownership. At €95,000 for 250 sqm the ask is €380/sqm, but the partial-rights structure is a veto-level issue that outweighs the otherwise ordinary baseline match.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home rather than a renovation shell: large, habitable, with floors, balconies, heating and outdoor space share. The setting has some greenery and mountain context, but the building itself is an ordinary 1970s block with limited visual romance. Good value for the size, though the partial ownership and dated finishes reduce the dream-home factor.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- Only the second-floor apartment is for sale, not the whole villa
- Exterior is plain and a bit dated rather than especially beautiful
- Interiors look habitable but very dated and need cosmetic updating
- Ownership includes only 50% of the basement and 50% of the land
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.
