At €208/m², the €35,000 asking price is deeply below the €467/m² baseline, but internal renovation estimated at €650/m² raises the effective cost to about €858/m². The recently rebuilt roof is a meaningful positive, while energy class and construction year are missing.
More on the house and the area
A highly characterful Appennine townhouse with a memorable pink facade, original shutters, painted beams, exposed stonework, a large fireplace and a generous private garden. It is a real, roofed house with a working-looking kitchen and usable rooms, but the bathroom and much of the interior are dated and require meaningful renovation before comfortable full-time living.
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, €650/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€33,000 – €59,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Substantial interior renovation is needed, especially the bathroom and finishes.
- Visible cracks, damp staining and aged electrical/plumbing elements require professional checks.
- No strong scenic view is shown; the appeal is the garden, character and quiet setting.
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.
The area around
Location score 72/100The cluster is in the northern Apennines. The Reno valley is the main local landform, and Lake Suviana and Lake Brasimone are within this part of Camugnano. Much of the surrounding area falls in the Suviana e Brasimone Regional Park. The nearest ski slopes are the Corno alle Scale area, roughly an hour away by road, so they are not part of the immediate landscape. Porretta Terme is the nearest town of some size, with rail services, shops and thermal baths. This stretch of the Bolognese Apennines is known for forested ridges, reservoirs and small mountain villages.
