What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €50,000 asking price is €625/m², but the house is completely to renovate; estimated all-in cost is about €138,000 (€1,725/m²), versus a €650/m² local baseline. The authentic stone character and open hillside view add appeal, but do not offset the heavy renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
The authentic stone townhouse has beautiful Tuscan character, exposed beams, an old fireplace, and a genuinely impressive open view across the plain toward the mountains. However, it is a raw renovation project rather than a livable home, with unfinished interiors and no visible modern facilities, so the strong setting cannot push it into the dream-home range.
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€32,000 – €47,000
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 renovation-dependent, with no visible bathroom or kitchen.
- Interiors are unfinished and dusty, with exposed wiring and construction materials.
- Some surrounding outbuildings appear seriously deteriorated; roof and structural condition need professional 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.
