What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €442/m², the asking price is only slightly above the Emilia-Romagna baseline of €412/m²; assuming habitable condition, estimated effective cost rises to about €642/m². The 181 m² total includes a rustico, hayloft and garden, while condition and building details are missing, limiting confidence in the value.
More on the house and the area
A highly charming, genuinely usable country house with a lush private garden, covered outdoor living areas, exposed beams, arched openings and a fireplace. The interiors are finished, tiled and habitable, though dated and likely in need of cosmetic work—especially around the kitchen. At €80,000 for 181 sqm with garage, garden and rustic character, it offers strong dream-home appeal.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- The kitchen appears dated or possibly incomplete and may need updating.
- Only one bathroom and one clearly furnished bedroom are shown.
- The garden is attractive but enclosed and suburban rather than a spectacular rural landscape.
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.
