In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €30,000 for 150 m² with an estimated habitable renovation at €200/m² (~€30,000) gives an effective cost of ≈€400/m², slightly above the regional baseline of €371/m². The property’s 300 m² garden, garage and cellar and 13 photos support the price for a family home in Pietrelcina.
More on the house and the area
Attractive stone-and-stucco farmhouse with balconies, a cellar/garage and a private 300 m² garden plus a clear valley view — a very strong value for the price. The building is roofed and habitable but shows dated interiors and visible cracks, so expect renovation/modernisation and a structural check before moving in.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Visible cracks in walls/ceilings — get a structural survey.
- Interiors are dated and need cosmetic/upgrading (kitchen, bathroom).
- Only one small bathroom for four bedrooms.
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.
