Price €80,000 plus an estimated €200/m² renovation (~€43,200) gives an effective price of ~€123,200 (≈€570/m²) which is above the regional typical €500/m²; strong historic character and 19 photos are positives, but the higher effective €/m² pushes this into a fair value range.
More on the house and the area
A charming, stone-built 19th‑century village house with original arched doorway, terracotta floors, exposed stone cellar and intact historic character. It’s a real, liveable home now but best suited to someone who wants to freshen the kitchen and finishes rather than a full rebuild — excellent value for the size and setting.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€14,000 – €24,000
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.
- Access is on narrow pedestrian village lanes / steps — limited direct parking.
- Interior is habitable but the kitchen, some finishes and bathrooms are dated and would benefit from modernization.
- Ground-floor former stable/cellar will need conversion if you want additional living space; verify utilities/heating setup.
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.
