At €78,000, estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €684/m², well above the €425/m² local comparison level. The house is usable and benefits from seismic improvements, recent windows, a garage, garden and 54 photos, but its remote mountain location and premium pricing limit the deal value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable mountain-borgo home with a beautiful covered terrace, mature greenery, private outdoor space, and striking mountain views. The warm fireplace, brick detailing, wood furnishings, working kitchen, heating, recent windows, and renovated main bathroom make it a real house rather than a renovation shell, although the style is dated and could be personalized.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 and kitchen are well maintained but distinctly dated and likely invite cosmetic updating.
- The main living level is reached by an external staircase; the second bathroom is located with the garage/accessory spaces.
- Energy class is not provided.
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.
