At €44,000 (€518/m²), the partially renovated 85 m² house is already above the local €397/m² benchmark, and completing the works could add roughly €51,000. The garage, two parking spaces and land improve the package, but the listing does not say enough about the remaining renovation scope, year of construction or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A charming independent village house with a photogenic peach façade, vivid green shutters, tiled roof, stone detailing, and a substantial old stone-and-brick garage/storage space. Inside it is clearly a real, usable home: the kitchen is fitted, the bathroom is complete, heating is visible, and the rooms are clean and recently refreshed, though the interiors are plain and the setting lacks a notable open view or private garden. At €44,000, the livability and character make it a strong bargain, tempered by the steep rock face immediately beside the property.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €30,000
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.
- The house is directly beside a steep exposed rock slope, with barriers and apparent nearby slope/road works.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a five-bedroom layout.
- The attic and garage/storage areas are utilitarian and may need further finishing or maintenance.
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.
