Large villa but expensive: using a modest €200/m² renovation estimate gives an effective price of about €1,346/m² (€619k total), vs the regional median of €589/m² — more than double the baseline, so this looks overpriced despite the big garden and many photos.
More on the house and the area
A roomy, well‑kept villa with large terraces, a sunroom and big windows opening onto a wooded valley — the garden and views sell the place. The house appears move‑in ready structurally (garage, cellar, dependance included) though finishes are a little dated and the extensive grounds need upkeep.
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€30,000 – €51,000
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.
- Large 5000 m² garden and terraced grounds will require ongoing maintenance.
- Interior styling and finishes look dated — mostly cosmetic updates likely.
- Property sits close to a road/driveway so check privacy and noise on site.
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.
