What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €45,000 asking price is attractive, but renovating 136 m² at an estimated €700/m² brings the likely total to about €140,200, or €1,031/m². That is substantially above the local €410/m² reference, so the discount disappears once the work is included.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, furnished townhouse with two bedrooms, finished floors, working-looking bathrooms, and a pleasant traditional feel from the patterned tiles, old furniture, and local stone facade. However, it is in a plain residential setting with no visible outdoor living space or view, and the unfinished construction areas plus dated fittings mean renovation will be needed.
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€27,000 – €48,000
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 furnished and usable, but the exterior and some upper/rear areas show unfinished or renovation-needed construction.
- Interiors are very dated, especially the bathroom finishes, and a kitchen is not shown in the gallery.
- No notable view, garden, or surrounding landscape is visible.
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 the lagoon is known for salt production and windmills.
