Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 plus an estimated €56,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,450/m²—far above the local comparison level of €347/m². The listing confirms heating and provides many photos, but offers little detail on the renovation work needed.
More on the house and the area
A charming, solid-looking semi-detached home with a photogenic terracotta exterior, covered porch, private lawn, mature greenery, shutters, timber details, and a traditional fireplace. The interiors are fully fitted and livable, including a working kitchen, heating, bedroom, and bathroom, but the décor and bathroom are distinctly dated and some walls need refreshing.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €28,000
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 home is clearly usable but needs renovation and modernization, especially the dated bathroom and worn interior finishes.
- The garden is attractive, though the setting appears suburban/rural rather than scenic, with no notable mountain, sea, or village view.
- Only one bathroom is shown for the 80 sqm house.
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 58/100This is in the southern Veneto plain between the lower Bacchiglione and Adige river country, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and scattered villages. The nearest town of size is Monselice, which has a walled hilltop castle complex and a substantial historic centre. To the north-west, within about 15 km, the Colli Euganei rise out of the plain as isolated volcanic hills, protected as the Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei; the area is known for vineyards, olive groves and spa towns around Abano and Montegrotto farther north.
