See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €100,000 plus an estimated €79,100 renovation budget, the effective cost is about €1,532/m², far above the €419/m² local comparison level. The central location, 200 m² garden, panoramic exposure and sound roof are positives, but the missing heating system and substantial renovation needs make this price weak.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, furnished village house with excellent mountain scenery, a private 200 sqm garden, traditional shutters and an appealing old-town character. It is clearly usable rather than an empty shell, with a kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, floors and a roof in place, but it needs meaningful renovation and new heating before becoming a comfortable dream home.
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€22,000 – €40,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Needs substantial renovation, with peeling finishes, visible exterior deterioration and some cracking.
- Heating is currently absent, so installing a heating system will be essential for mountain living.
- The garden is attractive and sizable, but currently appears rough and requires landscaping.
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.
