This is a judicial auction (asta) listing for a 188 m² villa priced €33,751, which carries legal and procedural risks. Auction sales require tribunal documentation and lawyer assistance, so this is classified as a trap until vetted by counsel.
More on the house and the area
A plain but solid three‑storey house in a small hamlet with a grassy yard and pleasant rolling‑hill views — the setting is peaceful and genuinely rural. The building looks structurally intact with garage and cellar and is listed as habitable, making it a realistic, low‑cost home if you verify interiors and handle likely cosmetic work; remember this is an auction sale so legal due diligence is essential.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- Property is being sold at a judicial auction — consult a lawyer and check tribunal documentation
- Listing photos are almost entirely exterior/satellite — interior condition and finishes are unclear
- Confirm utilities/number of bathrooms and any required repairs despite 'habitable' status
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 61/100The area is in the northern Apennines, in the hill belt south of Reggio Emilia. The Enza valley is nearby, and the Secchia valley is not far to the east. The Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano lies to the south, with the main protected ridges and higher summits reached farther up the mountains rather than around the village itself. The nearest ski area is Cerreto Laghi, roughly an hour’s drive depending on road and season. The nearest town of size is Reggio Emilia, which provides the full set of city services, rail links and a historic centre. This part of the province is known for wooded ridges, pasture, small stone hamlets, and for Parmigiano Reggiano production in the Apennine foothills.
