What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €48,000 for 720 sqm, the asking price is just €67/sqm, but this is a large early-1800s historic building presented as an investment/development opportunity, so a full restoration estimate of about €1,100/sqm is more realistic than a livable-home standard. The baseline is weak (only 5 comps), so this score relies mainly on absolute plausibility: central historic position is a plus, but the missing room/bath data and likely heavy capex keep it in fair territory.
More on the house and the area
The facade has real historic-palazzo presence, and the internal courtyard gives it romantic character and development potential. But this is not a usable home today: the interiors are raw, decayed and partly dangerous-looking, so it scores as a beautiful project rather than a livable dream house. At €48k for 720 sqm, the price creates strong fantasy appeal, but the condition hard-limits the wow.
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€285,000 – €421,000
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.
- Major full renovation project; interiors are derelict and not currently habitable.
- Some spaces show severe decay/damp and likely structural work to courtyard and stairs.
- No kitchen or bathrooms are visible; utilities/legal redevelopment details need checking.
- Renderings shown are aspirational, not the current condition.
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 cluster is in the Val Nure, in the Ligurian Apennines foothills, with wooded ridges and farmed valley slopes within the local 15 km landscape. The Nure river runs through Bettola and defines the valley. Farther up-valley, around about 15 km from Bettola, the road climbs toward Passo del Mercatello and the higher Apennine crest. The nearest larger town is Piacenza, which provides the main rail station, hospital and full city services. The area is known for Val Nure hill country, chestnut woods, pasture and small stone villages.
