Listed at €52,000 for 118 m² and judged habitable; I estimate €200/m² for minor works (≈€23,600), giving an effective price of ≈€75,600 or ≈€641/m² vs the regional median of €580/m². The property includes ~1,500 m² of land, a garage and 15 photos, so it’s a solid, livable villa but not an exceptional discount after refurbishment.
More on the house and the area
Sunny single‑storey villa with a pleasant enclosed porch, working fireplace, big garage and about 1500 m² of private land; clear mountain views from the garden. The house is habitable now but decorated in dated 1960s/70s style and would benefit from updating of kitchen/bathroom and some systems.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Dated interior finishes — cosmetic modernisation likely needed
- Single bathroom and older systems (GPL heating, fossa biologica) may need inspection or upgrading
- Rural setting - check road access and utilities for your needs
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.
