What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €321/m², the asking price is about 24% below the local benchmark, and the property offers two independent homes, a garage and garden. However, the listing does not state the condition or renovation history; allowing €200/m² for likely updating brings the effective cost to roughly €521/m², making the discount less compelling.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly usable, furnished two-home property with bright interiors, attractive exposed brickwork, original timber beams, traditional shutters, and a photogenic rural-court facade. It appears ready to live in rather than a renovation shell, with two kitchens, two bathrooms, five bedrooms, garage space, and a small private garden area.
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€16,000 – €26,000
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.
- Energy class G and likely basic heating systems may mean higher running costs.
- The private garden is described as being separated from the adjoining property, so its final boundaries should be verified.
- The listing notes that some images or furnishings may have been digitally inserted for illustration.
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 36/100The area lies in the lower Po plain near the Po river, with flat agricultural land and floodbank landscapes. Quistello and Poggio Rusco are the nearest larger local centres, with basic services and rail access in the plain. Mantova is the main historic city for the area, farther away, with major monuments and UNESCO status, but it is outside the immediate landscape. This part of the province is known for irrigated farming and small settlements scattered across the plain.
