What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 328 sqm, the asking price is just €290/sqm; assuming habitable condition from the description, the effective cost is about €490/sqm including light renovation, which is still plausible for a very large detached country house. The local baseline is weak, so the score relies more on absolute value than market comparison, but the size, central position and 27 photos support this as a solid deal rather than a trap.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, solid, genuinely usable house with lots of space, a huge terrace, garages and some garden area, so it feels like a real home rather than a project. The wow comes more from value and practicality than beauty: the house is very dated, but it appears structurally complete and liveable with refreshment rather than a total rebuild.
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€22,000 – €37,000
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 significant cosmetic updating.
- Exterior is plain and the setting is ordinary, with no scenic views.
- Large terrace and yard look functional but not especially refined.
- Photos do not show standout historic features or designer finishes.
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.
