At €37,120 (€317/m²), this renovated 117 m² villa is about 7% below comparable Veneto stock, with a garage, cellar and fireplace. The 17 photos support the condition claim, although the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has or provide an energy rating.
More on the house and the area
This is a modest detached house with a small garden, garage, tiled floors, a kitchen, bathroom, and some exposed timber ceilings. However, the interior photos show heavy wear, clutter, damp-looking finishes, and dated facilities, while the description confirms that major renovation is needed before living there. The low price is attractive, but the property is more of a substantial renovation project than a ready Italian home.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- The listing states that substantial renovation is needed before the property is habitable.
- Electrical, plumbing, and heating systems require restoration or upgrading.
- Windows, ceilings, partitions, and flooring also need work; the property appears cluttered and poorly maintained.
- The auction price excludes renovation costs and potential legal or technical expenses.
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 72/100The Euganean Hills rise immediately around Este, a compact group of volcanic hills that give this part of the plain a distinct relief. The Frassine and Bisatto waterways run through the area, and the wider setting is the southern edge of the Euganean plain. Much of the surrounding hill country falls within the Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei. The nearest larger city is Padova, which provides the full range of urban services and rail connections. Arquà Petrarca, within the Euganean Hills, is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The area is known for vineyards, olive groves, and historic walled hill and plain settlements linked to the Colli Euganei.
