What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 for 204 sqm, the ask is about €338/sqm, but the description says 'stato grezzo' with renovation started and not finished, so I estimate roughly €700/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,038/sqm. The local baseline is weak (only 12 comps), so this looks only moderately plausible rather than a clear bargain; large size and garage help, but missing condition/energy data keep it from scoring higher.
More on the house and the area
The stone farmhouse frontage and small lawned setting are attractive, with genuine rustic character and good volume inside. But this is clearly a work-in-progress shell: roof and structure look in place, yet the interiors are bare, unfinished spaces without a livable kitchen or bathrooms. At the price and size it has strong potential, but right now it feels more like a renovation project than a home you could move into.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €72,000
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.
- Interior is still in rough shell condition and not currently habitable.
- Bathrooms, kitchen, finishes and likely systems still need completion.
- Some signs of damp/staining are visible on interior stone walls.
- Attic spaces have low/sloping ceilings, limiting usability.
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.
