What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 100 sqm, the ask is €900/sqm; with only light exterior finishing implied by 'da pitturare da fuori', the effective cost is about €1,000/sqm. That is far above this catalog baseline of €407/sqm for Lombardia townhouses, and the text is somewhat contradictory ('ristrutturato interamente' yet still only 'abitabile' and no garage despite the tag set), so this looks ordinary-to-weak rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely habitable townhouse with functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating and decent-sized rooms, so it feels like a real home rather than a project. Visually, though, it is very plain inside and out, with no evident view, historic charm or standout setting. The value per square metre helps, but the dream factor is modest.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Exterior needs repainting/refresh
- Interiors are basic rather than characterful
- Street-facing frontage with limited privacy
- Photos show a usable home but not a polished finish
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 41/100This is the flat Po Valley north of Mantova, with fields, irrigation canals and scattered farm buildings. The Mincio river and its park are to the east around Goito and Valeggio sul Mincio. Verona is the nearest city of size, with full city services and major monuments, and Mantova is also close enough for daily use. Valeggio sul Mincio and Borghetto sul Mincio are the best-known nearby historic settlements in this area. The landscape here is mainly agricultural plain rather than a distinct hill, lake or mountain setting.
