What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At 95,000 EUR for 160 sqm, the ask is 594 EUR/m2; with a habitable-condition allowance of about 200 EUR/m2, the effective cost is roughly 794 EUR/m2. That sits well above the local baseline of 385 EUR/m2, so despite the large villa, garden and garage, it looks more ordinary-to-weak value than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable detached home with a generous garden, olive trees and lots of practical space, so the livability is solid. The exterior and grounds are pleasant and private, but the house lacks standout historic charm or dramatic views. Overall it feels like a good-value, comfortable country villa that could be enjoyed now and improved over time.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- 1980s villa style rather than period Italian character
- Interiors are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating
- No truly standout view shown; setting is green but not dramatic
- Ground floor appears partly utility/garage space rather than all finished living area
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.
