See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €14,000 asking price is exceptionally low, but a 300 m² house that is entirely to renovate, including roof work, implies roughly €300,000 in renovation and an effective cost near €1,047/m² versus €317/m² for comparable homes. The vineyard, private courtyard and views add value, but only one photo makes the condition harder to verify.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic old farmhouse with charming shutters, chimneys, landscaped frontage, a vineyard, and attractive views toward the Euganean Hills. However, it is explicitly a complete renovation project with roof work required, so despite the exceptional €14,000 price and strong setting, it is not currently a realistically livable home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €1,000/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €105,000
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 38/100The area lies in the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land and the Po di Goro and other branches of the Po delta landscape not far to the south and east, though the immediate surroundings are mainly reclaimed farmland and river plain. The Po runs nearby and shapes the local geography. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status for the Renaissance city and the Po Delta cultural landscape. The area is known for agriculture and for its position between the lower Po and the routes toward Ferrara and Rovigo.
