In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €62,000 (€388/m²), the home appears habitable but the four attic rooms are still rustic; allowing roughly €300/m² for completion brings the effective cost to about €688/m², nearly twice the local €350/m² benchmark. The garage, garden, views and partial renovation add value, but the remote inland location and missing energy/building details make this a fair rather than standout deal.
More on the house and the area
A characterful traditional townhouse with colorful shutters, balconies, a productive garden, and a genuinely beautiful wooded mountain setting near the village church. The main living areas are furnished, functional, and recently modernized, with two bathrooms and four bedrooms, though the upper attic remains a renovation opportunity.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- The top attic level is still rustic and would need finishing.
- The house is occupied by the owners, with delivery estimated at around six months.
- Some exterior areas and outbuildings look utilitarian rather than fully finished.
- GPL heating and the lack of stated energy classification warrant practical checks.
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.
