This habitable 60 m² apartment costs €1,300/m², or about €1,500/m² after estimated light costs, versus a €630/m² local benchmark. The garage, heating, balcony and accessibility features add value, but the asking price remains substantially above comparable low-cost stock.
More on the house and the area
This is a clean, functional and apparently move-in-ready apartment with a fitted kitchen, bathroom, heating, air conditioning and tiled floors. However, the interiors are ordinary and dated, with no visible view, garden, historic features or standout architectural character to create a strong dream-home appeal.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Plain, dated apartment finishes and furnishings.
- No attractive view or distinctive historic character is visible.
- Only one bedroom, with a relatively compact 60 sqm layout.
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 39/100The area is the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land cut by canals and drainage works. The Adige runs just north of Rovigo and the Po is to the south, shaping the wider Polesine landscape. The Po Delta Regional Park begins farther east, outside the immediate surroundings, and the Adriatic coast is also farther away. Rovigo is the nearest town of size, with a compact historic centre, arcaded streets, piazzas, and the two surviving medieval towers of its former castle. The area is known for reclaimed lowland, farming, and the river landscape of the Polesine.
