See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€326/m²), the house is attractively priced initially, but completing the two unfinished rooms and replacing some windows could bring the effective cost to roughly €676/m², above the €467/m² local comparison level. The large outbuildings, good roof and generous layout add value, though the remote rural setting and incomplete renovation limit the bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, genuinely usable home with beautifully restored exposed stone walls, warm timber beams, a fireplace, good flooring, a modern bathroom, and a functioning kitchen/living area. It has strong historic character and generous proportions, but the unfinished bedrooms, cluttered spaces, 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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €51,000
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: two first-floor rooms and some windows still need completion.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a very large four-bedroom home.
- Several rooms are cluttered or currently being worked on; exterior grounds and outbuildings are not shown in the gallery.
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.
