After adding a €200/m² renovation allowance the effective price is ≈€70.5k (≈€698/m²), about double the regional median of €350/m². The house is listed as habitable with many good features and 33 photos, but the high effective price vs. baseline makes this an overpriced pick.
More on the house and the area
Solid, small detached villa with a private front garden, driveway and garage — perfectly liveable but plainly finished. Interiors are habitable yet dated (tiles, bathroom, finishes) so expect to modernize; overall a very good-value starter home rather than a dreamscape.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 and bathroom are quite dated — cosmetic renovation and updating needed
- Property sits close to a roadside — no special views or scenic setting
- Energy class/insulation not shown; verify heating costs and systems before purchase
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 area is the flat lower Livenza plain, with the Livenza river running through Santo Stino and a landscape of fields, drainage channels and scattered settlements. Caorle on the Adriatic is the nearest coastal centre, with beaches and a historic core, but it lies beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. Portogruaro is the nearest town of size, with a preserved centre on the Lemene and the usual rail, schools and services. This part of eastern Veneto is known for agriculture and for being on the plain between the Veneto and Friuli lagoon-and-river districts.
