Price €80,000 for 200 m² plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (≈€140,000) yields an effective ≈€1,100/m², far above the Veneto baseline of €409/m². Large renovation needed, inland location (~88 km from the sea) and only one bath make this a costly project.
More on the house and the area
An attractive old townhouse with exposed brick character, a garage and a private strip of garden — good bones and a roomy 200 m². Currently largely rundown and not move-in ready: expect substantial exterior and roof work plus interior renovation.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.
- Exterior is largely run-down with areas of missing plaster and exposed brick — significant renovation needed
- Roof appears partially damaged and will likely require repair or replacement
- Overgrown narrow garden/land needs clearing and landscaping
- Only one bathroom listed — interior layout likely requires modernization
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 34/100This is the southern Veronese plain, part of the flat agricultural area between Verona and the lower Adige basin. The Adige runs west of the area, and the landscape around Oppeano is mainly fields, drainage canals, roads and scattered settlements. Verona is the nearest major city and provides the full range of services, rail links and monuments, but it is outside the immediate landscape. The area is known for intensive agriculture on the plain.
