At €80,000, this 80 m² home needs modernization, bringing estimated total costs to about €136,000, or €1,700/m². That is far above the local comparison level of €646/m², and the 21 km distance from the sea adds little location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable one-bedroom home rather than a bare shell, with functioning-looking kitchen and bathroom, tiled floors, heating, and striking traditional vaulted ceilings. The bright main room has real historic character, but the interiors are dated and the visible wall patch suggests some maintenance work; its appeal comes mainly from the architecture rather than views or outdoor space.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
- Needs modernization, especially the dated kitchen, bathroom, and furnishings.
- Visible wall discoloration suggests possible damp that should be inspected.
- No garden, terrace, exterior character, or scenic view is proven by the photos.
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.
