What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a rustico da ultimare/to restore: at €25,000 for 80 sqm (€312/sqm) the asking price sits near the low stock baseline of €320/sqm, but adding roughly €1,100/sqm renovation brings effective cost to about €1,412/sqm, which is not cheap for this catalog. Positives are the redone roof/structure and terrace, but it is an unfinished mountain property at 1,000 m altitude with access only within 150 m by car, so the discount is not deep enough after works.
More on the house and the area
The setting is gorgeous: a high alpine hamlet with dramatic mountain views, stone buildings and lots of rustic character. But this is still a project rather than a usable home, with raw storage-like interiors and unfinished living spaces despite the rebuilt roof and solid structure. At €25k, the wow comes from the location and atmosphere more than present-day livability.
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.
- Rustico to be finished, not currently a ready home
- No bathroom or proper kitchen shown
- Partly open upper level will need enclosure/layout work
- Access is not directly by car; about 150 m on foot
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.
