What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 (€542/m²), the 120 m² house is below the local €621/m² benchmark, and it includes 2,000 m² of olive-covered land. However, the listing does not state the condition or habitability; allowing for substantial renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,242/m², making this weak without further inspection.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine two-storey country house with a substantial 2,000 m² green setting and olive plantings, offering useful outdoor space and a realistic path to living there. The building appears intact but plain and visibly tired, with facade repairs and modernization likely needed; its main appeal is the land and independence rather than architectural beauty.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.
- Exterior shows peeling render, weathering, and dated balcony/roof details, so renovation or substantial refreshing is likely.
- No interior photos are provided, making the actual kitchen, bathrooms, utilities, and habitability difficult to verify.
- The large paved forecourt is practical, but the property lacks a clearly photogenic view or distinctive historic character.
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.
