In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €36,188 asking price is very low at €203/m², but allowing roughly €35,600 for habitable-condition updates puts the effective cost near €403/m² versus a local reference of €347/m². The listing provides useful evidence of livability, including autonomous heating, two bathrooms, a cellar, fireplace, and 20 photos.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, characterful Veneto farmhouse-style villa with old shutters, a tiled roof, mature greenery, and a pleasant private forecourt. It is described as habitable with heating, a fireplace, two bathrooms, and a cellar, making it a real home rather than a renovation shell. The lack of interior views and the somewhat worn exterior keep it below the dream-home tier.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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 are provided, so the actual finish level and livability cannot be verified.
- The exterior shows weathering and likely needs cosmetic maintenance.
- Located in a suburban residential setting rather than a dramatic historic village or countryside location.
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 34/100The cluster sits on the flat agricultural lowland of the Venetian plain, an area of fields, market-gardens and irrigated plots served by a network of small canals and drainage channels. There are no mountains, lakes or regional/national parks within the local plain. The area is functionally part of the Venice mainland/urban fringe: Mestre and the larger Venice urban area are the nearest significant urban centres and provide train connections, larger shops and services. Venice (historic centre, UNESCO World Heritage Site) and Venice Marco Polo airport are the regional cultural and transport hubs for the area, reached by road or rail from the plain. The local landscape includes built-up suburban and light-industrial zones as well as agricultural land; many residents commute into Mestre/Venice. The immediate surroundings are typical lowland Veneto without a named scenic feature within about 15 km.
