See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 (€207/m²), this 387 m² property is currently registered as C/2 storage space rather than a dwelling. Conversion for residential use is only a possibility, not an established legal status, making the project unsuitable as a straightforward home purchase.
More on the house and the area
The strongest feature is the beautiful vineyard setting, with expansive green views and a large farmhouse complex with traditional tiled roofs. However, this is currently a non-residential C/2 property needing major renovation, with agricultural and warehouse spaces dominating the site; it is a substantial conversion project rather than a ready-to-live-in 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€77,000 – €136,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Currently registered as C/2 rather than a residential dwelling, so residential conversion and permits must be verified.
- The property needs substantial renovation and the photos show no usable interior living spaces.
- Much of the site consists of agricultural or warehouse-like structures rather than a finished home.
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.
