What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Completely to be restored ("completamente da ristrutturare"), so I estimate about €1,100/m² renovation: effective cost is roughly €1,376/m² all-in (€60,000 + works over 217 m²). The ask is very low at €276/m² versus a low-stock baseline of €442/m² in Emilia-Romagna country houses, and the large 217 m² house with 1,800 m² land supports a strong upside despite heavy works.
More on the house and the area
The plot is a real plus: 1,800 sqm of private green space in a quiet setting gives it some dream potential. But the house itself presents as a tired, shut-up farmhouse needing full renovation, with no visible livable interiors in the photos. This feels more like a substantial project than a beautiful ready-to-live Italian home.
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€86,000 – €127,000
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
- Photos do not show usable interior spaces
- Overgrown outdoor areas need major clearing
- Only one bathroom shown on plans and layout looks very 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.
The area around
Location score 35/100This is the lower Romagna plain between the Santerno and Senio rivers, with flat agricultural land and scattered villages. Lugo is the nearest town of size and has a full service centre, a historic core, and rail links toward Ravenna, Bologna and Faenza. The area is known for orchards, vineyards and intensive farming typical of the Bassa Romagna.
