The €57,000 asking price is attractive at €261/m², but a substantial renovation estimated at about €700/m² brings the effective cost to roughly €961/m²—well above the local €417/m² benchmark. The listing confirms a garage and cellar, but the property still requires major work.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely usable rural townhouse with traditional shutters, terrazzo floors, old doors and impressive agricultural beams, offered at a compelling price per square metre. However, the interiors are very dated and visibly damp in places, so it feels like a renovation project rather than a ready-made dream home.
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€43,000 – €76,000
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.

- Substantial renovation is needed, including widespread damp, peeling plaster and aging finishes.
- The roof and structural condition should be professionally checked, especially around the exposed agricultural outbuildings.
- No attractive scenic view or clearly private garden is shown; the exterior appears to open onto a shared/internal courtyard.
- Heating, insulation and utility performance are not evident from the photos.
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 39/100This is the flat mainland between Mestre and Treviso in the Venetian plain, with a landscape of fields, drainage canals, roads and scattered built-up areas. The Marzenego river runs through Salzano. Venice and the lagoon are outside the 15 km radius, so they matter for access and daily services but not as part of the immediate landscape. The nearest larger town is Mestre, which has the full range of urban services and rail connections.
