What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The 96 m² property is described as a rural building with stable, portico and hayloft, not a dwelling; residential or hobby/studio use requires prior urban-planning verification. At €281/m² it is near the €290/m² baseline before substantial conversion costs, while condition and habitability data are missing.
More on the house and the area
The exposed brick, traditional tiled roof and generous portico have genuine rustic character, with attractive rolling-hills views and surrounding countryside. However, this is currently an agricultural outbuilding with bare floors, unfinished spaces and no bathroom or kitchen, so it is a renovation project rather than a livable cheap Italian home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€38,000 – €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.
- This is a rural farm building with a stable, portico and hayloft—not a finished home.
- No bedrooms, bathrooms or kitchen are shown; interiors are raw and largely utilitarian.
- Substantial renovation and urban-planning approval would be required before residential use.
- The attractive furnished interiors appear to be illustrative staging rather than the current condition.
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.
