In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
30,000€ plus an estimated 200€/m² renovation (80 m²) gives an effective cost of ≈46,000€ (≈575€/m²), well above the regional baseline of ≈371€/m²; that pushes this into the fair/overpriced range. Positives: habitable, sold furnished, 18 photos, immediate availability and a large 3,300 m² plot with ~60 productive olive trees and independent setting.
More on the house and the area
A compact, habitable villa with large (≈3,300 m²) productive olive land and a sunny terrace with pleasant valley/torrent views — a genuine countryside plot. The rooms are usable today but cluttered and dated; plan for cleaning, cosmetic updates and likely roof/terrace waterproofing and general upkeep.
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.
- Flat roof and terraces show wear — likely need waterproofing/repairs
- Interior is cluttered and dated; requires cleaning and cosmetic renovation
- Access appears via a narrow/uneven track and grounds need clearing/maintenance
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.
