What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 for 147 sqm, the ask is about €667/sqm; with a likely renovation budget of ~€700/sqm for an older country house with no stated habitable/renovated condition, the effective cost is about €1,367/sqm. That is far above the low-stock baseline of €426/sqm for similar listings, though the large independent house, garden and 30 photos support it as a real property rather than a risky listing.
More on the house and the area
The real wow here is the open mountain panorama and the lovely rural setting with the Romanesque church in view. The house itself looks structurally solid, bright and usable, with a large glazed veranda and decent rooms, but the interiors are basic and at least the bathroom and kitchen need work before it feels fully livable. Good value for the size, independence and setting, but this is more a sound house with a beautiful outlook than a dream interior.
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 – €51,000
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.
- Interiors are very plain and dated rather than characterful.
- Bathroom appears incomplete and needs fitting/finishing.
- Kitchen is unfitted, so it is not immediately move-in ready.
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.
