What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €68,000 for 217 sqm (€313/sqm), below this stock baseline of €377/sqm, but it is explicitly da ristrutturare, so I estimate about €700/sqm renovation, bringing effective cost to roughly €1,013/sqm. Big internal space plus an 850 sqm private courtyard and garage/cellar help, but the renovation need keeps it in good-not-exceptional territory.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, very affordable family house with a genuinely usable garden/courtyard and some extra outbuildings, so it has real lifestyle potential. But the wow factor is limited: the exterior is plain, there are no views, and the interiors are mixed between habitable rooms and spaces clearly mid-renovation. It feels like a solid house with possibilities rather than a beautiful dream home today.
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€43,000 – €76,000
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.
- Needs significant renovation; several rooms are unfinished or stripped back
- Exterior is plain and tired despite being structurally standing
- Only one bathroom shown for a large 217 sqm house
- On a road junction, so the setting is practical rather than picturesque
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 52/100The cluster sits on the lower Friulian plain near the Corno and Ausa river system and the Marano Lagoon. The Laguna di Marano lies within about 15 km, with reed beds, fishing valleys and low islands between the mainland and the Adriatic. The nearest larger centres are Lignano Sabbiadoro for beach services and Palmanova for a full range of shops and services; Udine is farther and matters more for higher-level services than for the immediate landscape. The area is known for flat reclaimed farmland, waterways, lagoon fishing and the port-industrial zone around Porto Nogaro.
