See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (~€105,000), total cost ≈ €160,000 or ≈€1,067/m² — far above the Veneto baseline of €317/m². The property is clearly a substantial 'da ristrutturare' farmhouse (11 photos, heating and garage present) so high rehab costs make this overpriced.
More on the house and the area
Handsome period façade with decorative cornice and a pretty iron balcony gives real curb appeal, and the building appears structurally sound with intact floors and stairs. It’s a solid, liveable renovation project rather than a ruin — good value for someone wanting a character home in town, but expect work on windows, systems and interior finishes.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €53,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Clearly needs renovation — windows/doors boarded and interior finishes worn.
- Likely upgrades needed to systems (electrics, plumbing, heating) despite reported heating.
- Located on a main road so limited privacy and no notable view.
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 48/100This is the upper Venetian plain between Cittadella and Castelfranco Veneto, with flat farmland, drainage ditches and scattered settlement. The nearest town of size is Cittadella, which has a complete medieval walled circuit and services, and Castelfranco Veneto is also close with a larger town centre and rail links. The area is known for intensive agriculture on the plain and for its position between the Brenta basin and the foothills, but the main mountain scenery begins farther north beyond the 15 km radius.
