In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €48,000 (€246/m²), this habitable 195 m² townhouse is attractively priced upfront, with autonomous heating and a cellar. Allowing about €39,000 for ordinary habitable-property work brings the effective cost to roughly €446/m², close to comparable Ravenna stock; the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has.
More on the house and the area
At €48,000 for 195 sqm, this is an unusually large property with a bright, polished main living space, attractive wood flooring, and broad city-and-hills views. However, the gallery suggests mixed condition rather than a uniformly move-in-ready home, with at least one neglected room and unclear bathroom details.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- The gallery is highly inconsistent: bright renovated rooms appear alongside a dark, visibly deteriorated bedroom.
- The listed bathroom count is 0 despite a photographed modern bathroom; verify the actual layout, permits, and condition.
- The outlook is urban rather than a classic Italian countryside or coastal setting.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Ravenna, so the lived setting is an urban plain in Romagna rather than open countryside. The Adriatic coast at Marina di Ravenna, Punta Marina and Lido Adriano is within about 15 km, with low sandy shoreline and pinewoods along parts of the coast. The Po Delta Regional Park reaches the Ravenna coast and the pine forests south and north of the city, including the Pineta di San Vitale and the pinewoods around Classe and Cervia. Ravenna is a provincial capital with major services and a group of UNESCO monuments from the late Roman and early Byzantine period, for which the city is known nationally. The area is also known for wetlands, reclaimed flatland and beach tourism on the nearby coast.
