A habitable 164 m² villa with garage, heating, terrace and cellar has an estimated all-in cost of about €67,100, or €409/m², modestly below comparable local stock at about €431/m². The description is unusually complete and supported by 30 photos, making this a credible good-value listing rather than an exceptional bargain.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, livable suburban villa with a pleasant orange facade, mature trees, private lawn, balcony, and terrace. The interior is practical and furnished rather than derelict, though dated and lacking the historic character or spectacular views that would create a stronger dream-home effect.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- The interiors are fully furnished and appear habitable, but dated and likely need cosmetic updating.
- The listing appears connected to a property auction, so legal status, occupancy, and purchase procedure should be checked carefully.
- The stated bathroom count is 0, which conflicts with the visible bathroom photo and should be verified.
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 72/100No mountains or named mountain range within about 15 km; the terrain is the flat alluvial plain of the Po Valley. The Mincio river and the three linked basins called Lago Superiore, Lago di Mezzo and Lago Inferiore lie at Mantova and are within the local 15 km radius. The Parco Regionale del Mincio (regional park) covers wetlands and river corridor sections around Mantova and is in the area. The Riserva naturale Bosco della Fontana, a remnant lowland oak woodland and conservation area, lies close to Mantova and the Mincio system. There are no ski lifts within 15 km; Alpine ski areas are over 100 km by road. The nearest town of size is Mantova (provincial capital): it has a historical centre with the Palazzo Ducale complex and the cathedral, a railway station and the main local hospital. Mantova is part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing (Mantua and Sabbioneta). The immediate landscape is low, flat agricultural land with intensive farming and the river-lake system shaping local land use and habitats.
