At €274/m², the asking price is about 68% below Ravenna's €854/m² benchmark, creating strong upside if the apartment is habitable. However, the listing only says “apartment” and does not state its condition, bathrooms, energy performance, or renovation needs, so the apparent bargain requires careful verification.
More on the house and the area
A remarkably atmospheric historic brick residence with elegant arched entrances, traditional shutters, mature landscaped grounds, and a strong villa-like presence. The €59,250 price for 216 sqm is potentially exceptional, but the absence of interior photos and the stated zero bathrooms make this a visually compelling yet unverified home rather than a confirmed move-in-ready dream property.
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.
- No interior photos, bathroom details, or confirmed utilities are provided, so livability cannot be verified.
- The property appears to be part of a large historic residence; ownership and use of the gardens may be shared or restricted.
- Condition, heating, energy performance, and renovation needs are undisclosed.
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 immediate setting is an urban plain of the lower Romagna. The Adriatic coast and the pinewoods and wetlands around Classe, Punta Marina and the southern Ravenna shore lie within about 15 km. The Po Delta Regional Park extends into the Ravenna area, with pine forest, brackish lagoons and reclaimed lowland landscapes. Ravenna itself is the nearest town of size and has the UNESCO early Christian monuments for which it is known, along with a port area at Marina di Ravenna and the services of a provincial city.
