This is explicitly an auction property, which carries legal, financing, and occupancy risks. The listing describes a ground-floor restaurant rather than a clearly habitable villa, despite the advertised 379 m² residential profile at €80,713 (€213/m²).
More on the house and the area
A substantial town-center building with attractive historic arcades, shutters, balcony railings, and a pleasant traditional streetscape. It appears structurally usable rather than a ruin, but the property is presented mainly as a restaurant/commercial building and the residential livability is not demonstrated.
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€25,000 – €42,000
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 listing is an auction sale, requiring careful legal and tribunal-document review.
- The description primarily identifies a ground-floor restaurant with cellar; residential layout and bathrooms are unclear despite the 'habitable' label.
- The photo is low-resolution and shows only the street facade, with no proof of interior quality or views.
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.
