What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 (€415/m²), the 193 m² farmhouse is essentially at the Campania baseline of €416/m², so it is fairly priced rather than deeply discounted. Its near-center location, garden, 11 rooms and 20 photos support usability, but condition and key property details are missing; assuming habitable condition, estimated renovation is €200/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial traditional village farmhouse with attractive patterned floors, an arched passage, old furnishings, and a private garden. It is a real house rather than a shell, but much of it is dated and visibly in need of cosmetic and possibly deeper refurbishment, so the appeal is more practical potential than immediate dream-home beauty.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- Parts of the property show extensive peeling plaster, damp staining, and dated finishes.
- The garden is substantially overgrown and will need clearing and ongoing maintenance.
- One portion appears usable with kitchen, bathroom, furnishings, and heating, while other rooms need renovation; verify utilities and structural 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.
