Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 (€667/m²), the estimated effective cost is about €867/m² after allowing €200/m² for updates, substantially above the local €387/m² benchmark. The house appears broadly habitable and has a garden, terrace, autonomous utilities and 28 photos, but its G energy rating and unspecified condition weaken the value case.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, usable detached house with two bathrooms, a private garden, and a particularly attractive hedge-lined entrance. The home appears livable rather than derelict, but its dated finishes, low ceilings, and cluttered rooms make it more practical than dreamlike and leave room for modernization.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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 clearly dated and heavily cluttered, so cosmetic updating and clearing-out would be needed.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs and weaker insulation.
- The photos do not establish the full condition of the roof, windows, systems, or outdoor spaces.
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 62/100This is the lower plain between Ravenna and the Po Delta, with reclaimed agricultural land, drainage canals and pinewoods toward the coast. The Reno River reaches the Adriatic a short distance east of Alfonsine. The southern part of the Po Delta Regional Park is within this radius, including the wetland and lagoon areas around Valle Mandriole and the mouth zones toward Casalborsetti. Ravenna is the nearest city of size, with extensive historic monuments including UNESCO-listed early Christian buildings. The wider area is known for wetlands, birdlife, fishing valleys and reclaimed farmland.
