Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €225/m², the €45,000 asking price is well below the local €420/m² reference, but the 200 m² old stone house is only partially renovated, implying roughly €100,000 in further work and an effective cost near €725/m². Its remote hamlet location and limited description temper the appeal despite the large garden, cellar and parking.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable stone country house rather than an empty shell, with a warm exposed-stone and timber-beam living space, working kitchen and bathroom. Its traditional façade, mountain/valley outlook, large 2,000 m² plot and €45,000 price create strong dream-home appeal, although the exterior and secondary structures need further work and tidying.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€23,000 – €39,000
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.
- Partially renovated, with visible unfinished or rough areas around the exterior and adjoining service buildings.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large three-level home.
- The property fronts a road and the outdoor areas currently look cluttered rather than landscaped.
- Roof, utilities, heating and structural condition should be verified.
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
Location score 62/100The area is in the northern Apennines, in the Val d’Enza. The Enza river runs through the valley below Vetto. This part of the province is hill and lower-mountain country with woods, pasture and scattered hamlets. The Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano lies to the south within the wider mountain area. The nearest ski area is Cerreto Laghi, roughly an hour’s drive depending on the exact hamlet. The nearest larger town is Castelnovo ne’ Monti, which has the main services for this part of the mountains. The wider area is known for Parmigiano Reggiano production and for the Matildic lands of the Reggio Apennines.
