At €75,000 for 180 m², the estimated renovation budget is about €234,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,717/m² versus a local reference of €350/m². The description covers three separate properties, including one incomplete structure and another requiring full renovation, while their areas and legal status are not clearly detailed.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial Piedmontese compound with a traditional two-storey house, a panoramic hillside outlook, and a large wooded parcel. However, it is fundamentally a renovation project: one building is unfinished, another needs substantial work, and the interiors are old and utilitarian rather than move-in ready.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,300/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€71,000 – €105,000
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 property is a complex of three buildings with very different conditions, including one unfinished structural shell.
- Major renovation is needed: interiors are dated, ceilings show peeling and damp-related wear, and some areas are workshop/storage spaces.
- Only one bathroom is listed, and the photos do not establish the condition of utilities, roof structures, or legal completion of the unfinished building.
- The panoramic outlook is attractive, but the immediate setting is a semi-rural residential area rather than a dramatic landscape.
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.
