See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 (€400/m²), the required renovation is estimated at about €700/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €269,500, or €1,100/m²—well above comparable Lazio country homes around €617/m². The generous size, garden, parking and terrace add appeal, but the inland location and substantial renovation needs limit the value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable country house with a large garden/olive grove, terraces, parking, a fitted kitchen, bathrooms, and attractive mountain-and-valley views. However, parts of the home are clearly unfinished or in need of renovation, and the plain exterior lacks distinctive historic character.
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€49,000 – €86,000
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 house is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with several unfinished or cosmetically rough rooms.
- The 245 sqm size may mean substantial ongoing maintenance and renovation costs.
- Utilities, heating efficiency, structural condition, and legal compliance are not established by the photos.
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.
