What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €475/m², the asking price is only moderately above the local €419/m² benchmark, but a habitable-home allowance brings the effective cost to about €675/m². The listing mentions heating, a garage and partial furnishings, but does not say whether the property needs renovation.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious townhouse with multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms, heating, a garage, and a fully equipped kitchen. The dark original beams and timber ceilings add strong historic character, while the upper rooms look bright and open toward rural fields; overall it is more charming and livable than spectacular.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and heavily furnished, with limited evidence of recent modernization.
- No exterior, garden, roof, or surrounding-street photos are provided.
- The property appears livable, but utilities, compliance, and structural condition are not documented.
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 34/100This is the southern Veronese plain in the Valli Grandi Veronesi, with flat reclaimed farmland, canals and embankments around the Tartaro-Tione system. The area lies between Verona and Legnago; Legnago is the nearest larger town and has the usual rail, shops and services. The Po plain landscape dominates here, with fields, drainage works and scattered hamlets rather than a named hill or mountain setting. Verona is farther away and matters for access, not for the immediate landscape. The area is known for agriculture and for the historic wetland-reclamation landscape of the lower Veronese plain.
