What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €421/m², the €80,000 asking price is only 11% below the Lombardia country-house baseline of €475/m². The condition is unspecified and the description says the property needs personalization, so estimated renovation at €700/m² raises the effective cost to about €1,121/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, genuine two-level home with a handsome traditional facade, decorative original flooring, shutters, balcony, garage, large paved courtyard, and a private garden. It appears livable rather than a ruin, but the interiors are old-fashioned and need cosmetic work plus updates to the kitchen, bathroom, and damp-affected areas.
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€38,000 – €67,000
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 very dated, with peeling paint and some visible ceiling damp or repair marks.
- The kitchen and bathroom need modernization, and only one bathroom is shown for a large 190 sqm house.
- The extensive courtyard and garden are currently unlandscaped and will require clearing and maintenance.
- No notable landscape view is visible; the appeal is the space, traditional details, and village-country setting.
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.
