I estimate renovation ~€200/m² (habitable), so effective price ≈ €102,675 or ≈ €713/m² versus the Veneto median of €350/m² — well above market. The listing claims habitable with many photos and amenities, but the high effective €/m² makes this an overpriced choice.
More on the house and the area
A solid, lived-in villa with a gated yard, garage and terrace — good practical value for the price. The rooms are plain and dated and the attic shows cracks, so plan for updating and a structural inspection before committing.
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€10,000 – €16,000
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 are very dated and need modernisation.
- Visible cracks in the attic/upper walls — structural check advised.
- Upper-floor rooms have low/sloping ceilings and limited headroom.
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 flat agricultural country on the south side of the Verona plain, between the lower Adige and the Fratta-Gorzone drainage area, with fields, canals and scattered hamlets as the immediate landscape. The nearest town of size is Legnago, which has the usual services, a rail station and a substantial built-up area. Verona is farther away and matters more for jobs and transport than for the lived landscape around the village. The area is known for irrigated farming on the plain.
