What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly an auction listing ('in asta', minimum bid €40,920), which is a veto red flag for this catalog regardless of apparent condition. Even assuming a habitable home at ~€200/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €804/m² versus a €430/m² baseline, so it is not a compensating bargain.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a practical small house rather than a fantasy Italian beauty spot. The main home appears basically habitable, with tiled floors, bathrooms and heating, plus a small private garden, but the visible exterior and outbuilding are plain and not especially charming.
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€5,000 – €7,000
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.
- Only a couple of weak photos, so the claimed panoramic/view character is not proven.
- The detached accessory building looks very basic and more like storage/woodshed than finished living space.
- Exterior is plain and semi-rural rather than photogenic dream-home material.
- Auction listing: actual condition and fixtures should be verified in the perizia and on site.
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 57/100Codevilla sits on the first hills of the Oltrepò Pavese, where the Po plain starts to rise into vineyard country. The Staffora valley is nearby, and the area is known for wine production, especially Pinot Nero and other Oltrepò Pavese appellations. Voghera is the nearest larger town, with rail connections, shops and services. Pavia is farther north for a larger historic city.
