What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the asking price is only €178/m² versus a €300/m² regional baseline, the 500 m² farmhouse is explicitly to restore, implying roughly €550,000 in renovation and an effective cost near €1,278/m². Zero listed bathrooms and missing condition/building data add uncertainty; the large rural property may be attractive only for a specialized project.
More on the house and the area
The farmhouse has genuine rural character, with exposed brick, vaulted ceilings, old columns, a covered internal portico, and a large 1,900-square-meter lot. However, the entire building is an unfinished agricultural shell with bare floors, unfinished walls, no bathrooms, and no usable living accommodation, so its beauty is mainly renovation potential rather than a home you could live in now.
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€198,000 – €293,000
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.
- This is a substantial renovation project, not a livable home: the interiors are raw storage/agricultural spaces.
- There are no bathrooms shown or listed, and no finished kitchen or residential rooms.
- The roof appears largely intact, but water damage, aging masonry, utilities, permits, and conversion costs require careful checking.
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.
