What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable villa at 527 EUR/m2 vs baseline median 395 EUR/m2. Nominally above median, but this is a 150 sqm villa with 2820 sqm park, 54 sqm garage/warehouse, 3 beds/2 baths, fireplace, garage, and heating - features that justify a premium over the median mixed baseline. Condition is good and immediately habitable, only a small attic room is grezzo (rough), keeping renovation costs low. Fresh listing (1 day). Total price of 79k for a move-in-ready villa with substantial land is attractive. Minor deductions: energy class missing and 1980 build means likely mediocre efficiency, and eur/m2 sits above the town median.
More on the house and the area
A 1980 habitable villa (150 sqm) with a large 2820 sqm park planted with fruit trees—the main draw. Interiors are dated and generic: yellow sponge-painted walls, terracotta tile floors, old white laminate kitchen units, standard radiators. Exterior shots are heavily obscured by foliage, showing a plain plastered facade with barred windows and wooden shutters. Low ceilings (~235/240cm) and an unfinished attic reduce appeal. The generous land and low price (527 EUR/m2) are the only notable features; overall no strong visual wow.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/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 – €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.
- Dated interior with yellow walls and old kitchen/fittings
- No exterior wide shot; facade obscured by trees
- Attic space listed as unfinished (grezzo)
- No energy class provided
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.
