At €95,000 for 331 m² (€287/m²), this central two-unit townhouse is priced well below the €500/m² local benchmark and includes a cellar, garage, and parking. The listing does not say whether it is habitable or needs renovation, so a provisional €350/m² allowance keeps it in good-but-not-exceptional territory.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, characterful village townhouse with traditional tiled floors, exposed timber beams, elegant old furnishings, chandeliers, and a genuine brick fireplace. The main living areas appear solid and usable, but the property is dated and includes large raw or minimally finished spaces, so it is a renovation-minded home rather than a ready-made dream house.
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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€38,000 – €65,000
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.
- Large portions of the property are dated and need modernization, especially the kitchen and bathrooms.
- Some upper-level rooms appear unfinished or lightly serviced, with exposed structure and sparse fittings.
- No exterior, garden, or notable view is shown; heating and utility condition should be verified.
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.
The area around
Location score 58/100The cluster is in the Val Luretta hills on the first Apennine relief south of Piacenza. The Luretta valley and the surrounding ridges are the immediate landscape, with mixed woods, fields and small hill villages. The Ligurian Apennines rise farther south, but the higher mountain scenery is not inside the immediate area. Piacenza is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. This part of the Piacentino is known for vineyard and mixed farm country and for fortified hill villages and castles scattered through the valleys.
