What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €90,000 asking price is €409/m², but the farmhouse is completely to renovate; at an estimated €1,100/m², effective cost reaches about €1,509/m² versus the Emilia-Romagna farmhouse baseline of €300/m². The 220 m² size and Ravenna location do not offset the very heavy renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
A characterful rural farmhouse with a photogenic, tree-filled setting, traditional shutters, tiled roof, exposed beams, terracotta floors, and a large fireplace. It is a substantial real structure rather than a ruin, but the interiors are dusty and outdated and the listing says it requires complete renovation, so this is a serious restoration project rather than a move-in home.
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€87,000 – €129,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated, as explicitly stated in the listing.
- Interior shows substantial work needed, including unfinished/utility areas and dated or damaged finishes.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 220 sqm, four-bedroom farmhouse.
- No confirmed views or utility status; rural access and renovation permissions should be checked.
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.
