After ~€14k of modest updates the effective price is ≈€73k (≈€1,043/m²) versus the regional median of €380/m² — about 2.7× higher. The villa is habitable, has 1,500 m² of land and 26 photos, but the effective €/m² makes this an overpriced listing.
More on the house and the area
Sunny, single‑level villa set in 1,500 m² of pine/olive‑style grounds with pleasant hill views — very attractive outdoor space. The interior is modest but habitable; mostly cosmetic refreshes are required rather than major structural work, making this a strong, affordable buy for someone who wants to live there.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Cosmetic updating needed (kitchen and bathroom finishes)
- Only one bathroom
- Verify heating/energy certification and utilities
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.
