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
The €95,000 asking price is only €221/m², but allowing about €200/m² for a habitable property gives an effective cost near €421/m², above the local €356/m² benchmark. The large private garden, mountain setting and generous accommodation add appeal, but 430 m² includes a very large garage and storage areas, while the listing does not say the building year or energy class.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, unusually spacious mountain house with three apartments, generous balconies, a huge garage, and a large private garden enclosed by attractive stone walls. The exterior is pleasant rather than spectacular, but the combination of usable condition, greenery, independence, and generous outdoor space makes it a compelling dream-home proposition.
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€28,000 – €48,000
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.
- The home appears habitable but visually dated, and the interior condition is not shown.
- The 1,800 sqm garden and extensive terraces will require ongoing maintenance.
- The advertised panoramic valley view is not visible in the supplied photo.
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.
