What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is completely to be restored, so I estimate about €1,100/m² renovation cost; that brings the effective cost to roughly €1,579/m² (€90,000 + about €206,800 works over 188 m²). Against a low-stock baseline of €447/m² for similar sub-€100k country houses in Emilia-Romagna, this is not a discount buy despite the large size.
More on the house and the area
There is some old-house character here in the tall rooms, beams, shutters and simple period staircase, plus a useful private garden at the back. But the condition is firmly project territory: widespread damp, stripped/empty rooms and no finished kitchen or comfortable bathroom visible. It feels like a large renovation opportunity rather than a beautiful home you could soon live in.
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€75,000 – €110,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated; not move-in ready.
- Visible damp, peeling plaster and cracking in multiple rooms.
- Only one bathroom shown/listed, likely needing full replacement.
- Fronts a road and the garden is currently overgrown and basic.
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.
