What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 60 m², complete renovation could add roughly €66,000, putting the effective cost near €2,183/m² versus about €595/m² for comparable Lazio townhouses. The 5,685 m² of land and 17 m² cellar add appeal, but the one-room layout, rural location, and unspecified energy performance do not justify the large premium.
More on the house and the area
A characterful stone countryside cottage surrounded by a substantial olive-filled plot, with attractive rustic walls and a peaceful rural setting. However, this is currently a renovation project rather than a usable home: the listing states it needs complete renovation, and the interior is not shown.
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€24,000 – €35,000
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.

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.
