At €90,000 (€1,385/m²), this partially renovated 65 m² townhouse is already more than twice the local comparison level of €659/m²; after roughly €600/m² for unfinished work, the effective cost is about €1,985/m². The listing does not specify which renovations are complete, and the five-bedroom layout with only one small bathroom may require further investment.
More on the house and the area
The house has genuine Tuscan character, with attractive exposed timber-and-terracotta ceilings, a fireplace, terracotta floors, and a functional fitted kitchen. However, much of the property is still a work site or storage area, so it is a real house with charm but not yet a comfortably move-in-ready dream home.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €23,000
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.
- Partially renovated, with several rooms showing unfinished plaster, exposed masonry, clutter, and ongoing work.
- Only one small bathroom is listed for a five-bedroom layout.
- No exterior, garden, or landscape views are shown; roof and utility condition are not documented.
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.
