The €60,000 asking price is attractive at €244/m², with 246 m², a 286 m² garden, cellar and balconies. However, substantial renovation could cost about €172,200, bringing the estimated effective cost to roughly €944/m²—well above the local comparison level of €417/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a generously sized historic townhouse with an appealing courtyard garden, mountain views and a genuinely attractive €60,000 price for 246 sqm. The stone-framed entrance, balconies and traditional layout provide real character, but the house is visibly tired and needs meaningful renovation rather than simple redecoration. It appears to be a solid, roofed home rather than a ruin, with floors and bathrooms already in place.
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€49,000 – €86,000
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.

- Substantial renovation is needed, especially peeling exterior finishes, balconies and general weathering.
- Interiors are functional but dated, with an old bathroom and no modern kitchen shown.
- Narrow historic-street access may limit parking and renovation logistics.
- Utilities, heating and structural condition should be verified before purchase.
