What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €690/m² before works, the €69,000 price is already 2.6× the Piemonte baseline of €263/m²; with an estimated €700/m² renovation, effective cost rises to about €1,390/m². The property is described as requiring renovation to create two dwellings, while condition and key technical data are missing.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely atmospheric Piedmont farmhouse with a garden, traditional terracotta roof, village setting, and extraordinary views toward a historic castle, wooded hills, and the plain. The main building appears roofed and structurally substantial, but the worn exterior and renovation plan make it a project rather than a ready-to-live-in home.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- The property clearly needs renovation, with aged facades, worn finishes, and a substantial rustic outbuilding.
- No interior photos are provided, so the actual kitchen, bathrooms, utilities, and immediate move-in condition cannot be verified.
- The covered storage/farm area appears functional but rough rather than converted living space.
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.
