What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 (€330/m²), the 300 m² farmhouse requires renovation, estimated at about €330,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,430/m² versus the Emilia-Romagna farmhouse baseline of €300/m². The location is near Forlì but not especially coastal, and condition, age, and energy data are missing.
More on the house and the area
A handsome Emilia-Romagna farmhouse with weathered terracotta walls, original shutters, exposed brick, old beams, and generous surrounding land. The house is roofed and retains substantial character, but it is clearly a major renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home, with several raw or agricultural spaces and no obvious finished kitchen.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€119,000 – €176,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is required throughout, with raw brick interiors, damaged plaster, and visibly aged finishes.
- The ground-floor spaces are largely agricultural/storage areas rather than ready living rooms.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 300 sqm farmhouse; roof, utilities, and structural condition need verification.
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.
The area around
Location score 42/100This is in the built-up area of Forlì, so the immediate setting is an urban plain in the Romagna part of the Po Valley. The Montone River runs through the city. The first Apennine foothills begin southwest of Forlì around Castrocaro Terme and Predappio, but they are outside the immediate urban surroundings. Forlì is a provincial city with a full set of services, rail connections, and a substantial historic centre with Piazza Aurelio Saffi, San Mercuriale and the Musei di San Domenico.
