650,000€ for 650 m² (1,000€/m²); with an estimated 200€/m² renovation the effective price is ~1,200€/m² vs regional median 556€/m² (≈2.2×), so this is well above local market. The listing omits condition/year and the text oddly refers to a 250 m² portion despite a 650 m² total.
More on the house and the area
A handsome, ready-to-live farmhouse-style villa with authentic brick arches, big fireplace and bright, generous rooms. Comes with a large private garden and open-field sunset views — very liveable now, though some interior finishes feel a little dated and the scale brings higher 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€43,000 – €73,000
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.
- Some dated finishes (floor tiles, kitchen units and lighting) that a buyer might want to update
- Large 650 m² villa + 2,000 m² garden means significant maintenance and running costs
- Setting is open fields (beautiful sunsets) — not coastal or lakefront
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.
The area around
Location score 38/100This is the western edge of the Bologna built-up plain, in the flat agricultural lowland between the Samoggia and Reno river systems. Bologna is the nearest city and provides the main services, major rail links, the airport, universities and historic centre. The immediate surroundings are fields, canals, roads, warehouses and suburban development rather than a distinct natural landscape.
