What it really costs

Move in as it is
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The house is described as habitable but with mostly dated finishes, so estimated renovation adds about €26,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €946/m². This is around 2.5 times the local sub-€100k stock benchmark of €380/m²; the central village setting, garden and 42 photos support the listing, but the price is high for the area.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable detached home with a private garden, generous spaces, attractive woodwork, marble-style flooring, and two fireplaces that give it authentic Italian character. It appears move-in ready but visually dated rather than beautifully renovated, with the main appeal being its livability, independence, and strong space-for-price value.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Interiors and kitchen are largely dated and will need gradual modernization.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
- The house is directly road-facing and has no notable scenic view.
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 the southern Padovano plain near the Adige, in a flat agricultural landscape of fields, drainage canals and scattered villages. The Colli Euganei rise to the north at roughly 15 km and are the nearest distinct relief; they form a regional park with volcanic hills, woods, vineyards and spa towns around the margins. Monselice is the nearest larger town in the area, with a walled hill, a castle complex and rail links; Este is also nearby and has a historic centre and the Carraresi castle. The area is known for irrigated agriculture on the plain, with the Euganean hills marking the main landscape feature of daily life nearby.
