Estimated effective cost ≈ €1,518/m² (price €145,000 + estimated €200/m² renovation → total ≈ €167,000 / 110 m²) vs regional median €533/m², so the property trades ~185% above the local baseline; proximity to the sea (1 km), pool and many photos help but do not justify that premium.
More on the house and the area
Attractive Mediterranean single‑storey villa with a large covered terrace, paved patios, gated garden, palms and outdoor barbecue — it reads as a real, usable home. The grounds and exterior look well maintained and largely move‑in ready, but interior photos are missing so budget for typical cosmetic updates.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Listing photos are overwhelmingly exterior — interior condition is not documented.
- No sea view is visible in the photos despite being ~1 km from the coast.
- Some exterior maintenance and cosmetic updating likely (wires/poles visible).
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.
