What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 for 197 sqm the asking price is just €350/sqm, but the home is explicitly 'stato grezzo' with renovation started in 1993 and never completed, so I estimate about €900/sqm to finish it. That puts the effective cost around €1,250/sqm versus a very low stock baseline of €395/sqm, making it weak value despite the large size.
More on the house and the area
The stone farmhouse exterior has genuine rustic character, and the grassy setting in a quiet green hamlet gives it some dream value. But this is not a ready home: the interiors are essentially a bare shell with exposed stone, raw floors and unfinished rooms, so it needs major work before anyone could really live there. At €69k for 197 sqm it has strong potential and bargain appeal, but the current wow is capped by condition.
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€39,000 – €69,000
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.
- Sold in raw unfinished shell condition (al grezzo)
- No finished kitchen or bathrooms are visible
- Needs full interior completion and layout work
- Some top-floor spaces have low sloping ceilings
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.
The area around
Location score 56/100The area sits in the first Apennine hills of the Savio valley. The Savio river runs through the area toward Cesena. Within this radius the landscape is mainly wooded slopes, fields and scattered hamlets, with the denser services concentrated toward Cesena, which has a full range of shops, schools, rail links and hospitals. The wider area is known for hill farming and for the route inland from Romagna toward the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines.
