What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€200/m²), the 300 m² farmhouse appears to need substantial customization; estimating €700/m² renovation brings the effective cost to about €270,000 (€900/m²), versus a €300/m² baseline. Zero listed bathrooms and missing condition data add uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
A handsome historic Emilia-Romagna farmhouse with a long weathered façade, original green shutters, arched barn door, mature trees, and open countryside around it. The intact-looking roof and substantial 300 sqm structure are promising, but the lack of bathrooms and interiors makes this a serious renovation project, not a move-in home.
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.
- No interior photos are provided, and the property has zero listed bathrooms.
- The farmhouse appears to require substantial renovation rather than immediate occupancy.
- Rural access and utility connections 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.
