At €90,000 (€562/m²), the partially restored 160 m² stone farmhouse could require roughly €112,000 in renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,262/m² versus a local reference of €315/m². Its village setting in the Parco dei 100 Laghi and 15 photos add appeal, but the listing does not state the exact condition, construction year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric stone farmhouse in a mountain hamlet, with traditional green shutters, balconies, exposed masonry, mountain surroundings, and a small garden. The main living spaces appear functional and inhabitable, though dated, while the rustic lower rooms and limited bathroom provision keep it below dream-home territory.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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.
- Interiors are usable but dated and heavily furnished, with likely cosmetic updating needed.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 160 sqm, six-bedroom property.
- The lower stone/storage areas appear rustic and may need improvement or checking for dampness.
- Mountain-village access is via narrow cobbled streets.
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.
