Asking €100,000 for 93 m² (1,075 €/m²); adding a modest habitable refurb estimate of €200/m² yields an effective ≈€1,275/m² versus the regional baseline of €433/m², so it trades at a large premium. Positives: habitable condition, sea view/1 km to the beach, garage and 33 photos, but the price remains well above comparable median values.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable two-storey townhouse with a private, tree-shaded garden and sunny terraces just a short walk from the sea. The building is liveable now but externally dated — light cosmetic work and garden tidy-up will quickly turn this into a lovely seaside home; request interior photos and confirm the promised sea view.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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.
- No interior photos provided — confirm room layouts/condition inside.
- Exterior is dated: shutters, balcony railings and outdoor finishes show wear and will need refreshing.
- Garden needs clearing/landscaping and some boundary repair.
- Advertised sea view is not visible in the photos — verify sightlines and distance to shore.
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.
