In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €63,000 (€618/m²), this habitable 102 m² townhouse is already about 48% above comparable local pricing; allowing roughly €20,400 for ordinary works brings the effective cost to about €818/m². Heating and a garage are mentioned, but the listing does not say how many bathrooms it has or provide its energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a surprisingly spacious 102 sqm urban home with clean modern finishes, a polished bathroom, heating, and a garage at a very accessible price. It looks genuinely habitable rather than a renovation shell, but the building exterior and setting are purely ordinary, so the appeal is practicality and value rather than an Italian dream-home atmosphere.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 mixes finished photography with what appears to be a kitchen rendering or staged image.
- One bathroom photo shows an unfinished doorway, and the listed bathroom count is 0 despite visible bathroom fixtures.
- The apartment block exterior is ordinary, with no visible garden, terrace, or scenic view.
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 39/100The area is the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land cut by canals and drainage works. The Adige runs just north of Rovigo and the Po is to the south, shaping the wider Polesine landscape. The Po Delta Regional Park begins farther east, outside the immediate surroundings, and the Adriatic coast is also farther away. Rovigo is the nearest town of size, with a compact historic centre, arcaded streets, piazzas, and the two surviving medieval towers of its former castle. The area is known for reclaimed lowland, farming, and the river landscape of the Polesine.
