Estimated total ≈ €89k (130 m² + €200/m² renovation) → about €685/m², well above the Veneto baseline of €409/m². The house is habitable with autonomous heating, fireplace, cellar and 32 photos (positives) but the effective price per m² makes it overpriced for the area.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable village townhouse with a large traditional fireplace, cellar and authentic stone/wood character — a genuine lived-in Italian home. Not glamorous but comfortably usable now and excellent value for 130 sqm; plan modest updating (bath, finishes, lighting) rather than a structural rebuild.
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€9,000 – €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.
- Dated interior finishes and fixtures — needs cosmetic updating.
- Only one small bathroom; windows are modest so rooms are somewhat low-light.
- No private garden or terrace; narrow village street setting.
- Steep, narrow internal stairs and a low-ceiling cellar to consider
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
