Property is offered at €179,000 for 400 m² (€448/m²) and the ad states “condizioni buone,” so we estimate €200/m² renovation (~€80k) giving an effective price of ≈€259k (≈€648/m²). That is well above the regional median of €443/m², so this is a livable, well-photographed country house but priced above typical local comparables.
More on the house and the area
A roomy, well-kept hill village property with two apartments, a double garage, courtyard and fruit garden — peaceful, panoramic setting. The structure and outdoor spaces are solid and immediately usable, but interiors are dated and some outbuildings are raw and would benefit from updating to make a stylish, long-term home.
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€26,000 – €44,000
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.
- Interiors and bathroom are dated and need cosmetic updating.
- Large garage/hobby room is unfinished concrete and will need finishing for living use.
- Steep/terraced site with external steps and sloped driveway may limit access for some buyers.
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.
