What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a 380 sqm rustico at €90,000 (€237/sqm), far below the local sub-€100k baseline of €726/sqm, which is a very strong value signal. However it is explicitly sold 'allo stato rustico', so I assume a full fit-out/restoration cost around €1,100/sqm; even so, the huge size plus parking/terrace keep it in diamond territory.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, structurally complete shell with a striking, chunky stone exterior and a huge roof terrace. But it is clearly not a livable home yet: the interiors are raw unfinished spaces needing full completion. The low €/sqm gives some bargain appeal, but the dream factor is more project than immediate Italian-home fantasy.
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€150,000 – €222,000
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.
- Rustico/al grezzo: no finished interiors, kitchen or bathrooms visible.
- Needs a full fit-out with windows, systems and internal completion before it is habitable.
- Urban setting is plain, with close neighboring buildings and limited privacy.
- Roof terrace is large but currently very bare and uninviting.
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.
