At €300/m², the villa is priced about 19% below the local comparison level, with 2,000 m² of garden, parking and only 15 days on market. The listing does not say whether the 200 m² house is fully habitable or needs work, and its inland location 35 km from the sea limits the location premium.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, genuinely livable villa with a working kitchen, bathrooms, tiled floors, heating, five bedrooms, and a large garden/olive-grove setting. The sweeping green hill and valley views are the main dream factor, although the architecture and interiors are plain and somewhat dated, with exterior upkeep needed.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- The exterior shows peeling finishes, weathering, and an overgrown approach that will need maintenance.
- The house is furnished and appears usable, but the interiors are dated rather than turnkey-modern.
- Verify utilities, heating, septic/sewer arrangements, and access to the rural property.
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.
