At €69,000 (€297/m²), the 232 m² historic-centre townhouse is priced below the €356/m² local benchmark, with 4,300 m² of land and an additional 80 m² garage/storage building. It is generally well kept, but the heating boiler needs replacement and the effective cost after light works is closer to €497/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric, habitable medieval-borgo townhouse built in beautiful local stone, with an exceptional two-level arcade, historic tower setting, stone stairs and vaulted cellar spaces. It is a real 232 sqm home with utilities, bathrooms, bedrooms and functioning finishes rather than a ruin, though the heating boiler needs replacing and the interiors are less fully documented than the striking exterior. The substantial separate land, outbuilding and €69,000 price add major dream-home appeal.
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€15,000 – €26,000
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 independent heating system has a boiler that needs replacement.
- The gallery shows mainly the stone loggia, stairs, cellars and exteriors rather than fully furnished living rooms.
- The 4,300 sqm land and secondary garage/magazine building are about 100 metres from the house; part of the courtyard is shared.
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.
