See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (requires special legal process and due diligence), so it's treated as a trap for general buyers. Listed €56,250 for 241 m2 (€233/m2); adding an estimated €200/m2 renovation yields an effective ≈€433/m2 versus the regional median ≈€531/m2.
More on the house and the area
Solid, habitable 1986 villa with a private garden, garage and attractive mountain/valley views — a very liveable countryside home. Interiors are serviceable but dated and an annex looks unfinished, so expect light-to-moderate work; excellent low-price opportunity for someone who wants to move in and refresh.
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€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.
- Accessory outbuilding appears unfinished/under scaffolding and will need work.
- Interiors are dated and cluttered — cosmetic updating likely (confirm number of bathrooms).
- Property is sold at auction — verify title, costs and access with a lawyer before bidding.
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.
The area around
Location score 72/100The cluster is in the northern Apennines, in the Reno valley, with wooded slopes and ridgelines around the settlements. The area lies close to the Corno alle Scale massif, the highest part of the Bolognese Apennines, and the regional park of Corno alle Scale is within this mountain belt. The nearest ski lifts are those of Corno alle Scale, reached in roughly 30–40 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Porretta Terme is the local town of size, with rail connections on the Bologna–Pistoia line and the thermal establishments that give the municipality its name. The wider area is known for chestnut woods, mountain villages and the old trans-Apennine route between Emilia and Tuscany.
