What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly a house to renovate: at €30,000 for 149 sqm the ask is just €201/sqm, but adding about €700/sqm renovation brings the effective cost to roughly €901/sqm. The local baseline is weak (only 21 comps, median €300/sqm), so the score relies more on absolute plausibility than on the comparison; the large size helps, but it is not a standout bargain once works are included.
More on the house and the area
The hilltop borgo setting is the main appeal, and the price is undeniably cheap for the size. But the house itself is very plain and dated rather than beautiful, with basic but usable interiors that suggest a real renovation project rather than a ready dream home. It looks like a solid, liveable structure, not a ruin, yet the wow factor is modest.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€29,000 – €52,000
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.
- Needs renovation and modernization throughout
- Exterior areas are rough concrete rather than a usable terrace/garden
- No proven interior views or standout character features
- Likely limited immediate comfort despite being basically habitable
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.
