Asking €5,500 but the house is described as needing complete restoration; estimated renovation €1,100/m² gives an effective cost ≈€88,000 (≈€1,173/m²) versus the local median of €327/m², so it’s well above market. Good photo set (18) and intact stone shell, but full rebuild needed.
More on the house and the area
Lovely stone borgo house with original features (fireplace, terracotta floors and vaulted stone cellars) and a small terrace overlooking the valley. The building has strong character and great bargain potential but requires full restoration and likely work on structure and services before it’s a usable home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €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.
- Needs complete renovation (plaster, floors, ceilings).
- No bathroom shown and utilities appear missing or disconnected.
- Visible cracks and water damage — structural/roof inspection advised.
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.
