What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Although habitable, estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €655/m² (€72,000 total), well above the Campania farmhouse baseline of €416/m². The 8-day listing is not stale, but the remote inland location and missing energy/building data limit the appeal.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable, furnished 110 m² home with a working kitchen, two bathrooms, a fireplace, bedrooms, and balconies. The mountain backdrop and characteristic stone-paved village setting provide the main dream factor, while the interiors are practical rather than stylish and need cosmetic refreshment.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but distinctly dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The home is in a narrow historic alley, with no private parking or garden visible.
- Some exterior walls and shared-looking façades show weathering and possible damp staining.
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.
