What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
I estimate €200/m² renovation → +€36,000, so effective price ≈€91,000 or ≈€506/m² versus the regional median ≈€459/m² (slightly above). The house is described as in good/abitable condition with pellet heating, 5,000 m² detached land and 31 photos, so it's a livable mountain property but not a standout discount.
More on the house and the area
A tidy, move-in ready stone village townhouse with two good bedrooms, a pellet stove and a large separate 5,000 m² field — lovely for someone wanting rural Apennine life. Interiors are lived-in and clean but dated, and small practical updates (bathroom, balcony repairs, heating upgrades) would make it much more comfortable.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Single bathroom only
- The 5,000 m² plot is detached (not directly adjacent to the house)
- Bedrooms heated by electric radiators; pellet stove only on ground floor
- Concrete balconies show visible wear and would benefit from repair
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.
