At €58,000, the estimated effective cost is about €1,933/m² using the stated 60 m², versus a local reference of €700/m². The description instead says 44 m² and does not state the condition, legal status, or whether the near-zero utility costs reflect major off-grid limitations.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, recently finished little mountain house with a working kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and attractive wood details. The surrounding garden and sweeping Apennine valley views are the real dream factor, creating an unusually peaceful retreat rather than a renovation project.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
- Very small home, with only one bedroom and one bathroom.
- The outdoor areas and garden look rustic and somewhat improvised.
- Listing information appears inconsistent: the facts say 60 sqm, while the description mentions 44 sqm.
- Remote mountain setting may mean limited services and winter access considerations.
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.
