At €79,000 for 77 m², plus an estimated €700/m² to finish, the effective cost is about €1,726/m²—well above the local €526/m² reference. The listing does not clarify the building’s current condition, construction year, energy performance, or how the stated 636 m² total relates to the house and garden.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine detached home with a surprisingly large, tree-filled private garden and a distinctive decorated street facade. The house appears solid and usable rather than a ruin, with finished floors and enclosed rooms, but it is very dated, cluttered, and needs a serious refresh before it feels like a dream Italian home.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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 garden is heavily overgrown and will need substantial clearing and maintenance.
- Interiors appear usable but are dated, cluttered, and need cosmetic modernization.
- The kitchen and bathroom are not clearly shown, so full livability and utility condition are uncertain.
- The property is along a main road, which may mean traffic noise.
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.
