What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This 300 sqm farmhouse is priced at €267/sqm, almost exactly the local sub-€100k baseline of €263/sqm, so the asking price alone is not discounted. But it is explicitly 'da ristrutturare totalmente', so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation, making it a large full-restoration project with ordinary entry pricing rather than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This has the feel of a real old Piedmont farmhouse: high ceilings, vaulted rooms, big volumes and a useful private garden with farm outbuildings. The key positive is that it is not a bare shell — there is a kitchen, bathroom, stairs and habitable-type rooms — but it is clearly very dated and in need of major renovation. At €80k for 300 sqm, the scale and character create dream potential, though the current wow is more rustic-project than turnkey beauty.
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€119,000 – €176,000
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.
- Needs total renovation despite being currently enclosed and partly fitted.
- Only one bathroom shown for a very large 300 sqm house.
- Outbuildings/barn areas look semi-derelict and may need structural work.
- Garden/courtyard is overgrown and not yet a polished setting.
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.
