More on the house and the area
A pleasant, detached family home with a private garden, balcony and classic details (brick arch, fireplace, stone steps). Internally it’s lived‑in and dated but fundamentally sound and immediately habitable — best for someone wanting a comfortable house to refresh rather than a dramatic renovation project.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 finishes and decor — cosmetic updating needed throughout
- Only one bathroom for a 3‑room/166 sqm house
- Street-facing garden — not a secluded rural retreat
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.
The area around
Location score 58/100The cluster sits in the Secchia river valley on the lower slopes of the Modenese Apennines (Appennino Modenese). The local landscape within about 15 km is hilly to broken, with mixed woodland (beech and chestnut at higher elevations) and small agricultural holdings and pastures on the valley lower slopes. The Secchia river and its tributary streams run through the local valleys. The area contains small mountain villages and hamlets connected by provincial and municipal roads rather than by major highways. Ski lifts and the higher-elevation skiing areas of the Modenese Apennines (e.g. Monte Cimone area) lie beyond the immediate 15 km radius and require a longer drive. The nearest city of significant size is Modena (the provincial capital), roughly 35–45 km away, where broader services, regional train links and specialist shops are concentrated. The wider Modena province combines industrial plains (ceramic manufacturing around Sassuolo and Modena) with Apennine products and traditions (chestnuts, mushrooms and forestry) in the uplands.
