Listed at €66,500 with an estimated €200/m² renovation (€25,000) gives an effective price of €91,500 or about €732/m², well above the Veneto median of €409/m². The house is described as habitable with autonomous heating and a garage, but the effective €/m² makes this an overpriced listing for Mira.
More on the house and the area
Bright, recently-finished interiors and a stylish kitchen make this a genuinely move-in-ready 125 m² home with garage — great value for the price. However the building exterior and immediate setting are ordinary apartment-block urban, so it’s a practical, affordable home rather than a dreamlike Italian escape.
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 – €14,000
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.
- Exterior is an ordinary high‑rise block — not a picturesque Venetian townhouse.
- No private garden or attractive vistas shown; sea is 16 km away.
- Listing data shows 0 baths (photos include a bathroom) — confirm exact facilities and energy certificate.
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 41/100The cluster lies on the Riviera del Brenta, the settled strip along the Brenta between Padova and Venice. The Brenta Canal and its embanked waterways are the main landscape feature here, with a line of Venetian villas in the area, including Villa Foscari at Malcontenta within about 15 km, part of the Brenta villa system for which the area is known. The surroundings are flat lowland with cultivation, roads, villages and industrial and commercial stretches rather than open countryside. Mestre and Venice are the nearest large urban centres and provide the full range of services, rail links and airports, but they do not change the immediate landscape.
