What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 for 220 sqm, the asking price is just €318/sqm versus a low-stock baseline median of €467/sqm; with a blended renovation estimate of about €350/sqm for one habitable unit and one unit needing updating, the effective cost is about €668/sqm. Strong value comes from the very large size, central historic-village setting, and 2 independent units, though the second portion clearly needs works so it is not an ultra-cheap turnkey buy.
More on the house and the area
This has real borgo character: stone facades, shutters, an arched passage and a genuinely atmospheric historic courtyard setting. It is not a ruin at all—one unit looks habitable with kitchen, bathrooms and heating, while the second is more original and dated, so this feels like a usable home with renovation upside rather than an instant dream house. At €70k for 220 sqm, the size and two-unit setup add strong value appeal.
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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€25,000 – €43,000
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.
- One of the two adjoining units appears dated and likely needs renovation.
- The courtyard is shared rather than private.
- Interiors are functional but old-fashioned, with some cosmetic wear and patching visible.
- No real open views, terrace, or private outdoor space shown.
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.
