What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The house itself appears to be a dwelling (3 bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom) with 210 sqm at €60,000, but the description does not state it is renovated or immediately habitable, so I assume a moderate renovation at about €700/sqm. That gives an effective cost near €986/sqm (€286 + €700), well above the low internal baseline of €405/sqm for Lombardia townhouses, so this is not a deep-discount bargain, but the large size, garden, and very low entry price still make it a decent project.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable country house rather than a shell, with generous rooms, beamed ceilings, old terracotta floors and a big private garden that gives it some rural charm. The wow is moderate rather than dramatic: no standout views or polished beauty, and several interiors feel tired with visible wear, so it needs refreshing to become truly dreamy. At €60k for 210 sqm plus garden and outbuildings, it has strong value and livable potential.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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 dated and somewhat cluttered, needing broad cosmetic updating.
- There are visible signs of wear and possible damp/staining in some rooms and corridors.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large 210 sqm house.
- Outbuildings/rustico may require separate renovation before real use.
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.
