What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a fully to-be-restored 150 sqm detached house at €40,000, so the effective cost is about €1,307/sqm including renovation (€267 + €1,100/sqm). That is still far above the very low Sicily villa baseline of €385/sqm, but the package includes 5 hectares of land, independence, and garages, which materially strengthens the value.
More on the house and the area
The big draw here is the amount of land and the independent countryside setting, with olive trees and some open rural outlook. But the house itself looks tired and neglected, with visible cracks and no evidence of usable interiors, so this reads as a serious renovation project rather than an immediately dream-worthy home. At €40k for 150 sqm plus 5 hectares, the value is notable, but the wow is mostly potential, not present reality.
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€59,000 – €88,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated; not move-in ready.
- Visible exterior cracking and neglected outdoor areas suggest substantial works.
- Photos do not show interiors, so livability and systems are unproven.
- Setting includes roadside access and overhead wires, which reduce the romance.
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.
