What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Effective price ≈€107,550 (€90,000 + est. €17,550 renovation at €150/m²) → ≈€919/m², well above the regional baseline of €435/m²; excellent 50m-to-sea location, terrace sea-view and two units are positives but the effective €/m² makes this expensive for the catalogue.
More on the house and the area
A beautifully kept, habitable cielo-terra right in a photogenic fishing borgo with a sunny terrace and genuine sea view — interiors are charming (wood beams, tiled floors, neat bathrooms) and ready to live in. Excellent as a seaside home or tourist rental, but it’s multi-level with limited outdoor space and will benefit from a light refresh.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/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 – €10,000
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.
- Property needs a light refresh / cosmetic works
- Spread over several levels with narrow stairs (not ideal for mobility issues)
- No private garden — outdoor space is the terrace only
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.
