At €361/m², the €65,000 asking price is attractive, but the partially renovated 180 m² villa, energy class G, and multiple ancillary spaces likely bring the effective cost to about €1,061/m² after renovation. The listing does not say how much work remains or provide the building year, so the apparent discount is not yet compelling.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, generously sized home with a fitted kitchen, three bathrooms, multiple bedrooms, tiled living areas, and traditional fireplaces. It has some lived-in rural character, but the interiors are dated rather than beautiful, and the photos show no standout views or particularly attractive exterior setting.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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.
- Partially renovated rural villa with dated finishes and furnishings.
- Some ancillary spaces appear utilitarian, cluttered, or in need of refurbishment.
- Energy class G; the condition of the roof, systems, and agricultural outbuildings is not 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.
The area around
Location score 59/100The cluster lies in the Po Delta lowlands, with flat reclaimed farmland, drainage canals and embankments shaping the landscape. The Po di Venezia and other branches of the Po delta are within the area, and the Po Delta Regional Park is the main natural feature nearby. Adria is the nearest larger town, with everyday services and a museum linked to the ancient port history of the delta. This part of the delta is known for wetland landscapes, fishing and rice cultivation.
