What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly a judicial auction ('Asta', 'Data Asta'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Although the ask is only €194/m² versus a €290/m² baseline, auction status overrides pricing and makes it a trap for this scoring model.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable country house rather than a shell: there are functioning bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and heating, with some nice old beams and simple rustic character. The setting is green and rural, and the price for 233 sqm is eye-catching, but the house is visually modest and noticeably worn rather than truly beautiful. It feels habitable now with renovation potential, not an instant dream-home scroll stopper.
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€16,000 – €26,000
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.
- Auction sale; listing warns photos may not correspond exactly to the property
- Exterior is tired and needs clear cosmetic/maintenance work
- Some ancillary spaces/attic-cellar areas look rough, dark and not finished as living space
- Position is directly by a road, so privacy and quiet may be limited
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 72/100The cluster is in the northern Apennines, in the Reno valley and close to the Corno alle Scale massif. Corno alle Scale Regional Park lies within this mountain area, with Monte Cimone and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine ridge forming the wider skyline. The nearest ski lifts are those of Corno alle Scale, roughly half an hour by road depending on the hamlet. Porretta Terme is the nearest town of some size, with rail links, thermal facilities and everyday services. This part of the Bolognese Apennines is known for chestnut woods, mountain valleys and the historic road and rail route between Bologna and Tuscany.
