What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €32,000 (€405/m²), the property appears inexpensive, but its €700/m² renovation allowance brings the effective cost to roughly €1,105/m²—well above the local €423/m² reference. Only the upper floor is described as residential; the ground-floor deposit spaces require recovery as part of the renovation project.
More on the house and the area
This is a real small house rather than an empty shell, with a usable kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, and fireplace upstairs. Its strongest appeal is the generous surrounding land with mature olive trees and a glimpse toward the distant landscape/sea, but the building itself is plain and visibly dated. It is a charming low-cost project for someone seeking a rural home with outdoor space, not a move-in-ready dream property.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.

- The property clearly needs renovation and modernization, especially the exterior and lower-level storage areas.
- Access is via steep, narrow lanes and stairs, which may be inconvenient for daily living.
- The garden/olive land appears overgrown and will require ongoing maintenance.
- Utilities, heating performance, roof condition, and legal renovation feasibility are not confirmed.
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.
