What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 plus an estimated €15,000 for light updating, the effective cost is about €1,200/m² versus the Lazio country-house baseline of €613/m², making it expensive for the catalog. It is nevertheless a habitable independent home in good condition with exclusive outdoor space and a serviced location.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable, well-kept independent home with a generous private terrace, fitted kitchen, bathroom, and three bedrooms. Traditional shutters, patterned floors, classic furnishings, and ornate details give it modest Italian character, but the setting and interiors are pleasant rather than spectacular.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Only one bathroom for a three-bedroom home.
- The outdoor space is a paved urban terrace rather than a garden, and there is no notable view.
- Energy certification is still pending.
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.
