Price €28,000 plus estimated renovation €1,000/m² → effective €128,000 (€1,280/m²), far above the regional baseline of €497/m². Listing says “completely da ristrutturare” though the roof was recently insulated—heavy full-renovation costs make this an overpriced project.
More on the house and the area
Lovely stone exterior, exposed beams and a freshly re-roofed structure give this rustico real historic charm and curb appeal, plus a grassy plot and trees. However the upper walls/openings and the interior are essentially a shell and will require substantial renovation and services to become a livable home — a solid bargain if you want a character property to fully restore.
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, €1,000/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- Upper level has large open/partly-collapsed walls — needs rebuilding or infill
- Interior appears as an unfinished shell with no fitted rooms, bathroom or kitchen
- Utilities and services not shown/likely need to be installed and structural checks recommended
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

Bettola is the nearest small centre for daily services, while Piacenza is the nearest city of size with full shops, rail links and hospitals. This part of the Piacentine Apennines is known for wooded valleys, pasture and scattered stone hamlets.
