Price €61,500 for 152 m² plus an estimated €200/m² renovation (≈€30,400) gives an effective cost of ≈€91,900 or ≈€605/m² vs the regional median €409/m². The ad says “habitable” but lists 0 bathrooms, which is a contradiction and lowers confidence.
More on the house and the area
Large, freshly finished townhouse-sized apartment with new floors and a modern kitchen — genuinely habitable and a strong value for the price. The interior is clean but plain and the setting is urban and courtyard-facing, so it won’t satisfy someone after a scenic or historic Italian village experience.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- No bathrooms shown in photos and listing field reads 0 baths — verify number and condition of bathrooms/plumbing.
- Ground-floor / faces a paved parking courtyard and neighboring apartment block — limited privacy and no scenic view.
- Check condominium fees and exact condition of heating/fixtures despite generally fresh finishes.
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 58/100No mountains: the area is the low, flat coastal plain of the Venetian Lagoon and the Po river delta. The Adriatic coast and the Venetian lagoon lie to the east; the beaches of Sottomarina/Chioggia are about 10–15 km away and the landscape includes lagoon channels, saltmarshes and drainage canals. Parts of the Po Delta wetlands and associated protected areas lie in the wider lowland to the south and east (regional park boundaries are nearby). No ski lifts. The nearest town of size is Chioggia (fishing port, market, railway/road links and the Sottomarina beach strip) within roughly 15 km. The local economy and landscape are dominated by market gardening, mixed agriculture, fishing and lagoon-related habitats.
