What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a stone country house complex to restore: at €26,500 for 300 sqm (€88/sqm), the purchase price is extremely low, but a full restoration is likely around €1,100/sqm. That implies an effective cost near €1,188/sqm, well above the low-stock baseline of €575/sqm, but the very low entry price, panoramic setting, garden/courtyard, and expansion potential still make it a solid renovation play rather than a trap.
More on the house and the area
The panoramic hillside setting, vineyard outlook and old stone character give this real romantic appeal, especially for the price. But the interiors are very basic and worn, with damp, crude stairs and no clearly usable bathroom or kitchen, so this is still a serious renovation project rather than a home you could move into. It feels like a charming cluster with potential, not yet a livable dream house.
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.
- Full renovation needed before comfortable living
- No bathroom or usable kitchen shown
- Visible damp, cracking and very rough interiors
- Property appears split across multiple adjoining/separate stone buildings
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.
