See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €264/m² asking price looks low, but the house is explicitly to be renovated: an estimated €87,500 renovation brings the effective cost to about €964/m², well above the €379/m² local benchmark. Energy class G and AI-enhanced photos add uncertainty to this large 125 m² project.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, furnished country house with a working kitchen, bathroom, heating radiators, solid floors and attractive old timber beams in several rooms. Its rustic character and very low €33,000 price are appealing, but the exterior is plain and the property clearly needs renovation, especially around the older roof-space rooms and rear service area.
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€25,000 – €44,000
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.
- Advertised as needing renovation; visible cracks, damp/peeling areas and aging finishes need inspection.
- The rear outdoor area is functional but utilitarian rather than a landscaped garden.
- Some listing images were AI-enhanced and may differ from the actual condition.
- Energy class G and only one bathroom for a five-bedroom 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 38/100This is the lower Po plain south of Rovigo, with flat agricultural land cut by canals and drainage works. The Adigetto and the wider network of reclaimed-water channels shape the local landscape. Rovigo is the nearest town of size, with the usual provincial services, rail connections and an intact historic centre. The Po Delta lies farther south and east, and the area is known for reclaimed farmland and irrigated agriculture in the Polesine.
