See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €57,000 with substantial renovation estimated at €700/m², the effective cost is about €844/m² using the stated 395 m², well above the local €295/m² reference. The Italian description instead says the house is only 115 m² plus 2,800 m² of land, making the economics even weaker if that figure is correct.
More on the house and the area
A genuine old Marche farmhouse set among rolling countryside, with a tiled roof, wooden shutters, mature trees, 2,800 sqm of level private land, and a traditional fireplace. It is roofed and structurally described as excellent rather than a ruin, but the interiors are dated and need significant renovation before comfortable full-time living.
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€78,000 – €139,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- The house needs substantial renovation and internal redistribution, despite the sound structure.
- Only one bathroom is listed, and the kitchen/utilities are not shown.
- Large grounds will require ongoing maintenance; legal and utility details 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.
