What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 231 sqm, the ask is just €325/sqm, but with partial modernization assumed from the description the effective cost is about €675/sqm including ~€350/sqm renovation. The local baseline (€452/sqm) is weak because, so this looks like a solid spacious house with garden rather than an exceptional bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home with generous space, a private yard and open rural surroundings, so it has practical live-in appeal. The house looks structurally solid and inhabited, with functional kitchen and bedrooms, but the exterior is drab and there is little architectural character or real view. Good value for the size, yet the wow is more about affordability and space than beauty.
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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€27,000 – €45,000
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.
- Exterior is very plain and weathered
- Interiors are livable but dated and need cosmetic updating
- Top attic area appears unfinished/raw
- Only one bathroom shown for a large 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.

Location score 67/100The Tagliamento river runs by Spilimbergo, with a wide gravel-bed river landscape that is one of the main natural features of this part of Friuli. The Friulian Prealps rise to the north, with the nearest mountain area around Maniago and the approaches to the Valcellina and Tramontina valleys. The nearest larger town is Pordenone, which has the main rail and service base for the area; Udine is also an important city within practical reach. Spilimbergo is known for its medieval centre and for the Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli, a national reference point for mosaic training.
