What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 (€297/m²), the 300 m² farmhouse needs renovation estimated at about €210,000 (€700/m²), producing an effective cost near €997/m² versus the €290/m² Emilia-Romagna baseline. The large size and garden are positives, but the required investment makes this weak value.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious old Emilia-Romagna farmhouse with a leafy private garden, mature trees, a large courtyard and attractive rural surroundings. However, the photos show mainly agricultural/exterior spaces rather than a ready home, and the property is explicitly described as needing renovation, so it feels more like a substantial project than an immediately livable dream house.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €105,000
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.

- The property is explicitly a rustico requiring renovation, and the interiors are not shown.
- The weathered facade, old roof edges, agricultural outbuildings and improvised animal enclosures suggest substantial modernization may be needed.
- Utilities, structural condition, change-of-use feasibility and access should be verified.
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 30/100The cluster sits on the Po Plain (Pianura Padana); the terrain within about 15 km is flat and intensively farmed (arable crops, orchards, irrigation and drainage infrastructure). No named mountain range, notable lake or regional/national park lies inside a 15 km radius. The area is crossed by the main transport corridor between Modena and Bologna: regional roads, the Bologna–Modena rail axis and the A1 autostrada are all close by, giving direct links to larger cities and the national motorway network. The nearest major urban centres are Modena and Bologna, which provide hospitals, universities, larger commercial services and rail/air connections. Land use within reach includes small towns, industrial and logistics zones as well as agricultural land. The wider Modena area is known for food-production specialities (traditional balsamic vinegar, dairy and cured-produce regions) and for automotive and light-industrial clusters; those economic activities shape local employment and logistics.
