What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €30,000 for 57 sqm, the ask is €526/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €456/sqm, so it is not a discount on price alone. With no clear habitability/renovation status stated, I assume a mid renovation budget of about €700/sqm for this stone townhouse; the central village location and 26 photos help, but the effective cost is only a fair deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable little house rather than a shell: it has a working kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and a characterful fireplace. The main appeal is modest old-house character and a hint of mountain setting, but the interiors are quite dated and plain, so it feels more practical than dreamy. At €30k it has some bargain pull, though it likely needs refreshing to become truly charming.
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€11,000 – €20,000
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.
- Very dated interior needing clear cosmetic updating
- Small, cramped kitchen and compact bathroom
- No strong exterior charm shown despite stone-house description
- Mountain setting is only glimpsed, not fully enjoyed from the house
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 72/100The cluster is in the northern Apennines. The Reno valley is the main local landform, and Lake Suviana and Lake Brasimone are within this part of Camugnano. Much of the surrounding area falls in the Suviana e Brasimone Regional Park. The nearest ski slopes are the Corno alle Scale area, roughly an hour away by road, so they are not part of the immediate landscape. Porretta Terme is the nearest town of some size, with rail services, shops and thermal baths. This stretch of the Bolognese Apennines is known for forested ridges, reservoirs and small mountain villages.
