At €79,000 (€658/m²), the three-storey house is explicitly in rough unfinished condition, bringing estimated renovation costs to about €211,000 total, or €1,758/m² effective. That is far above the local €347/m² reference, with no clear pricing advantage despite its central village location.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial three-level independent house with a private garden and a sound-looking pitched roof, but the photos show an unmistakable empty shell rather than a usable home. The exposed brick, bare floors, unfinished openings, and lack of fitted interiors mean major renovation is required before it can become a dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€48,000 – €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.

The area around
Location score 38/100This is flat Po Valley country on the edge of the Veronese plain, with fields, irrigation canals and scattered villages. The Adige runs to the north of the area, and the Tartaro passes near Sanguinetto. Legnago is the nearest town of size, with rail links, hospitals and the main services for the lower Veronese plain. Verona is farther away and matters for higher-order services and access. The area is known for intensive agriculture in the plain.
