Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 (€425/m²), the asking price is close to comparable local levels, but the described need for substantial care puts estimated all-in cost near €238,400, or about €1,125/m² versus roughly €416/m² locally. The large courtyard, parking and outbuildings add flexibility, but the listing does not specify the exact condition or renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, spacious country house with two bathrooms, a functioning kitchen, generous rooms, private courtyard access, and useful storage buildings. Its strongest appeal is the amount of space and autonomy for €90,000, but the beauty is modest: the home is ordinary in character and would benefit from renovation and modernization.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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.
- The property is clearly usable but needs cosmetic updates and personalization.
- Interiors and furnishings are dated, with possible maintenance work to the exterior and outbuildings.
- The courtyard appears practical rather than landscaped, and there is no notable view or distinctive architectural feature shown.
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.

Sabbioneta lies close by and has a complete planned Renaissance town center with UNESCO status. Casalmaggiore is the nearest larger town and provides the main services and rail links for the area. This part of the Cremona-Mantua plain is known for irrigated agriculture and for small historic centers set in the river plain.
