What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 (€672/m²), the asking price is already 63% above the Emilia-Romagna country-house baseline of €412/m²; assuming renovation, the effective cost rises to about €1,272/m². The listing gives no condition, construction year, or energy data, so the true renovation burden is uncertain despite the independent entrance, garden, and parking.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable village-court home rather than a renovation shell, with several bedrooms, equipped kitchens, finished floors, heating, and a small private outdoor area. Exposed timber beams, warm colors, and the independent entrance add character, but the house is modest and dated, with no major landscape or scenic-view wow factor.
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€23,000 – €41,000
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 dated and heavily furnished, with likely cosmetic updating needed.
- The outdoor area is private but modest and mostly utilitarian rather than a landscaped garden.
- Only one bathroom is indicated for a 116 sqm, three-bedroom home.
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.
