185,000 € for 120 m² is 1,542 €/m²; adding an estimated 200 €/m² refresh (24,000 €) gives ~1,741 €/m², well above the regional baseline of 493 €/m². The house appears liveable with garage and garden and has many photos, but the effective price is expensive for the area (energy class E).
More on the house and the area
A roomy, solid single‑level villa with a generous fenced garden, driveway and an impressive finished cellar/workshop — clearly a liveable family home. Interiors are bright and spacious though a bit dated (bathrooms/kitchen), so expect cosmetic updates to modernise. The main‑road frontage and average energy rating are practical downsides to weigh.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Dated bathrooms and some interior finishes will need updating.
- House sits very close to a road (visible barriers) — possible noise/privacy issue.
- Energy class E (APE 194.93) — likely needs insulation/heating upgrades.
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.
