Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Large farmhouse 387 m² at €60,225 looks cheap on sticker but I assume €700/m² remediation (no condition given, 0 baths listed) which yields an effective ≈€856/m² vs local median €317/m², so the renovation cost makes it overpriced. Listing is very sparse (no condition, no bathrooms), so the true state is uncertain.
More on the house and the area
The interiors are bright, modern and clearly move-in ready — stylish kitchens and bathrooms make this feel like a comfortable home. However there is no photographic evidence of farmland, gardens or a rural setting; confirm the property type and outdoor space before assuming this is a usable farmhouse.
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€77,000 – €136,000
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.
- Photos look like a finished, high-end apartment — not a rural farmhouse; listing type may be incorrect.
- No countryside, land or olive grove shown — no evidence of the farm/land that would normally make a farmhouse dreamy.
- Key details missing or inconsistent (baths listed 0.0, condition not given) — verify utilities and legal status.
- Exterior image shows a narrow building wedged between high-rises, so expect urban setting and possible noise/limited outdoor space.
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 35/100The area is the flat southern Veronese plain between the Adige and the lower Vicenza-Padua countryside, with fields, irrigation canals and small market towns. The nearest larger towns are Lonigo, San Bonifacio and Legnago for daily services, while Verona and Vicenza are farther off for a wider range of shops and transport. This part of Veneto is known more for agriculture and for small-town food traditions than for a named landscape feature.
