At €36,000 (€225/m²), the purchase price is well below the local €430/m² reference, but the house is completely to renovate: estimated renovation costs of about €176,000 bring the effective cost to roughly €1,325/m². The historic-center location, garden, and potential for two homes add value, but the listing does not say enough about the building’s technical condition or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This large historic village house has a genuinely beautiful hill panorama, traditional stone surroundings, and a sizeable private garden. However, the interiors show serious damp, mold, and outdated finishes, while parts of the structure look heavily deteriorated; it is a major renovation project rather than a realistically move-in home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€63,000 – €94,000
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.
- Completely needs renovation, according to the listing.
- Severe damp and visible mold affect the interiors and ceilings.
- Parts of the exterior structure appear deteriorated, with rubble and overgrown garden areas.
- The home is in a dense historic-center setting with narrow access routes.
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.
The area around
