39 m² house at €55,000 = €1,410/m²; assume light works ~€200/m² → effective ≈ €1,610/m², far above the regional median €467/m². Listing includes a 48 m² deposito/magazzino that might be convertible, but the core dwelling is priced high for the area.
More on the house and the area
A compact, liveable village house with a simple kitchen and bathroom plus a large garden/olive/fruit plot — great for someone wanting outdoor space and a rural life. The stone/outbuildings and exposed beams give character, but several rooms are currently used as storage and need renovation to expand living space.
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€3,000 – €4,000
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.
- Very small living area (39 m²) — limited space.
- Behind the house several attached/depot rooms are unfinished and would need conversion to be living space.
- No clear info on heating/energy class; some interior spaces look basic/raw.
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.
