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
Although tagged Habitable, the description clearly says partial renovation is needed; with recent roof replacement and ground-floor heating, a moderate €350/m² renovation estimate is reasonable. Effective cost is about €699/m² (€95,000 + ~€95,200 works over 272 m²), versus a low-stock baseline of €406/m², so it is not cheap on an all-in basis, but the large size, garage/garden, and solid details keep it attractive.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable country house rather than a ruin: the roof looks redone, the rooms are finished, and the kitchen and bathroom are functional if old-fashioned. The rural Veneto setting with open fields gives it some charm, but the house itself is fairly plain and will need updating to feel dreamy. Very good space for the price, with solid livability more than true wow.
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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€31,000 – €53,000
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.
- Interiors are habitable but dated and need modernization.
- Some rear/outbuilding areas look rough and partially deteriorated.
- No bathroom is clearly shown upstairs despite the listing mentioning one.
- Roadside setting and overhead utility lines reduce the romance.
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 38/100This is the southern Veneto plain between the Adige and Bacchiglione systems, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and scattered villages. The nearest town of size is Monselice, which has a walled hill, a castle complex and a substantial historic centre; Rovigo and Padova are the larger service cities used for work, schools and hospitals. The wider area is known for irrigated farming on the reclaimed low plain.
