Asking €42,000 for 80 m² plus an estimated €200/m² for updating (€16,000) yields an effective price of about €725/m², well above the local median of €390/m². The description says the house is in good general condition and there are 18 photos, but the poor energy class (G) and the high effective €/m² make this an overpriced listing.
More on the house and the area
Lovely stone-built village house with intact structure and wide panoramic views over the Val Tidone — the windows frame classic rolling-hills scenery. Interiors are lived-in but serviceable (working kitchen, two bathrooms, cellar) so the home is move-in with cosmetic updating rather than a full rebuild.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Dated interiors and bathrooms — needs modernization for contemporary comfort
- No obvious private garden; outdoor space appears limited to small terrace/streetside access
- Energy class G — likely inefficient heating and higher running costs
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 58/100This is the Val Tidone hill country in the northern Apennine foothills, with ridges of vineyards, fields and woodland around the Tidone valley. The Tidone river runs through the area, and Lago di Trebecco lies in the upper valley within the surrounding hills. The nearest larger town is Piacenza, which provides the main rail links, services and historic centre. The area is known for wine production in the Colli Piacentini, especially Gutturnio and other local DOC wines.
