Asking €38,000 for 85 m² with an estimated €200/m² to finish gives an effective price of about €55,000 (≈€647/m²) versus the area's typical €359/m², so the effective €/m² is well above the local median. The house is habitable, in good condition with large veranda and 65 m² garage in a central, panoramic spot, but the high effective price keeps this in the fair category.
More on the house and the area
This village home has a knock-out panoramic setting — terraces and balcony look straight over wooded hills and a turquoise reservoir, a real daily-view dream. The living and bedrooms are simple but habitable, and the big veranda, garage and terraced garden give excellent scope to create a stylish country home; expect to fit heating and do some finishing work in the lower/taverna area.
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 – €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.
- Heating not installed (currently GPL bottle); heating system needed
- Large veranda/taverna area shows raw block walls and needs finishing/renovation
- Only one bathroom; some rooms and finishes are dated and will need cosmetic updating
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.
