What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 for 210 sqm, the ask is about €333/sqm; with a typical 'needs renovation' budget of ~€700/sqm, the effective cost is ~€1,033/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €428/sqm, so this is not cheap on all-in cost. The positives are the large detached villa format, private garden, garage tag, and a clear non-contradictory listing with 21 photos, which keep it in the good-project range rather than overpriced.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, substantial house with a surprisingly generous private garden and useful outbuildings/garage space, which gives it genuine liveability and value. The exterior has simple country-villa charm, but the setting is ordinary and the interiors are mostly plain and dated, with some visible moisture damage. It feels like a solid home to renovate rather than an instant dream house.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Interiors are dated and need renovation/refreshing throughout.
- Visible damp/plaster damage in some rooms.
- No view or special setting; it is in a plain residential context.
- Exterior facade also needs cosmetic work.
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.
