In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €73,126 asking price is €342/m², slightly below the €355/m² local benchmark, and the villa is described as habitable with a garage, heating and multiple outdoor spaces. Allowing roughly €200/m² for updates brings the effective cost to about €542/m²; the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has or provide an energy rating.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, functioning 214 sqm home with a bathroom, kitchen, heating, garage, terrace, and surrounding yard, offered at a potentially attractive price. However, the property is visually plain and heavily dated, while the garden and outbuildings appear neglected rather than dreamlike; it feels like a practical renovation opportunity, not a beautiful Italian-home fantasy.
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€14,000 – €24,000
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 habitable but very dated, cluttered, and would need cosmetic modernization.
- The outdoor areas and auxiliary structures look neglected, overgrown, and partly deteriorated.
- No notable views, architectural character, or particularly attractive setting are shown.
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 55/100This cluster is in the built-up area of Ravenna, so the setting is an urban plain near the Adriatic coast rather than a rural landscape. The Adriatic coast and the long sandy shoreline at Punta Marina, Marina di Ravenna and Classe are within about 15 km. South of the city, the Pineta di Classe and the wetlands of the Po Delta regional park system are within reach of this radius. Ravenna is a provincial capital with major services and early Christian monuments, including the UNESCO group of Paleochristian Monuments of Ravenna. The area is known for Byzantine mosaics, low coastal pinewoods, wetlands and beach resorts.
