This is explicitly an auction property, which is a veto red flag regardless of the advertised €93,742 price or €744/m² figure. The listing also provides no reliable legal or condition details beyond the auction description.
More on the house and the area
The property has attractive rustic stone architecture, several old buildings, and a substantial rural plot with olive trees and open countryside. However, the visible condition is closer to a neglected farmstead or renovation project than a ready-to-live-in home, with heavy overgrowth, no demonstrated interiors, and serious wall cracking.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- Photos show abandoned, overgrown stone buildings rather than a clearly habitable villa.
- Major structural cracking is visible, especially on the side wall; roof and structural condition need professional verification.
- No bathrooms, kitchen, or usable interior spaces are shown despite the listing stating 'habitable'.
- Auction purchase requires careful review of the court documents, access, utilities, and planning status.
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.
