What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €276/m², even allowing €200/m² for unspecified works, the effective cost is about €476/m² versus the Lombardia townhouse baseline of €406/m², so this is only moderately attractive. The two apartments, garages, terraces and panoramic setting add value, but the missing condition and energy data limit confidence.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable two-level country house with two apartments, bathrooms, garages and a spectacular rolling-hills panorama. The mature garden, roses, stonework and large panoramic terrace create strong Italian countryside appeal, while the interiors look dated but functional rather than derelict. At €70,000 for 254 sqm, it has especially strong dream-home value if the systems and legal subdivision check out.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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 exterior courtyard and facade show weathering, cracks and areas needing cosmetic maintenance.
- The gallery shows only limited interiors, so the condition of both complete apartments, kitchens and systems is not fully verified.
- The panoramic terrace and garden appear to be shared or communal areas according to the description.
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.
