What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €58,000 for 150 sqm, the asking price is just €387/sqm, but the description says 'completamente da ristrutturare', so I estimate a full restoration cost of about €1,100/sqm, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,487/sqm. That is far above the low internal baseline of €262/sqm, but the property is large, near the sea (5 km), and clearly marketed as a customizable dwelling rather than a non-residential asset.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a practical renovation project rather than a dream Italian home. The exterior is plain, roadside and partly commercial in feel, with no visible view or standout historic beauty. At €58k for 150 sqm it has bargain appeal, but based on the listing it needs full renovation and is not currently a wow, ready-to-live property.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €88,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Completely to be renovated; current livability is unclear from the photos.
- Exterior is plain and partly commercial-looking rather than romantic or characterful.
- No interior photos, so charm, layout and finish potential are unproven.
- Shared/common parking area reduces the sense of private dream-home appeal.
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 62/100This is in the southern Venetian lagoon landscape, with flat reclaimed land, canals and fishing valleys close to the Adriatic. The Po Delta Regional Park is the main protected area in this part of the province, with wetlands, embankments, reed beds and lagoon water landscapes within the wider 15 km setting. Chioggia is the nearest substantial town, with a historic centre on canals, a fishing port and daily services. The area is known for lagoon fishing, aquaculture and market gardening on the coastal plain.
