What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly an auction sale ("in asta"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog and forces a trap verdict. At €61,870 for 144 sqm (€430/sqm) it is not cheap enough versus the low Emilia-Romagna villa baseline of €386/sqm to offset auction risk; condition appears broadly habitable with some exterior work, so I estimate about €200/sqm renovation.
More on the house and the area
This sounds like a real, usable mountain home rather than a shell: 144 sqm, terrace, private garden, garage, fireplace, heating and described interiors in good condition. The setting seems pleasantly panoramic and tranquil, but without real photos of the house or view, the wow remains limited and mostly based on the written description rather than proven beauty.
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€10,000 – €16,000
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.
- No actual house photos are provided, so visual charm is largely unproven.
- Exterior is stated to be in mediocre condition.
- Energy performance appears weak (class G in the listing images).
- Auction sale: condition and occupancy/details should be verified in the perizia.
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 61/100The Tuscan-Emilian Apennines are the landscape here, with wooded ridges, side valleys and the Sambro valley. The area is close to the Parco storico di Monte Sole. The nearest larger city is Bologna, which provides the main higher-order services and rail connections. This part of the Apennines is known for forested mountain country, older village settlements on ridges, and the motorway and rail crossing between Bologna and Florence.
