What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €32,000 for 78 sqm, the ask is €410/sqm, exactly in line with the local low-stock baseline of €406/sqm. But the house was only renovated around 1980, so I assume a substantial modernisation budget of about €700/sqm, which makes the effective cost ordinary rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a project: furnished, functional, with wood floors, exposed beams and some old-house character. The wow comes from its modest historic feel and extremely low price, not from spectacular beauty or setting. It looks livable now but would benefit from modernization and attention to the worn/damp-looking kitchen walls.
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€16,000 – €27,000
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 dated and need cosmetic updating.
- Some visible plaster deterioration/damp marks around the kitchen area.
- Low ceilings and tight internal stairs may limit comfort.
- No exterior spaces or views are shown in the photos.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Euganean Hills (Colli Euganei), a compact group of volcanic hills rising out of the plain. The Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei covers much of the area within reach. Galzignano Terme is part of the Euganean thermal area, known for hot-spring spa facilities and thermal mud treatments. Este and Monselice are the nearest larger historic towns, with walled centres, castles and rail links. Arquà Petrarca, within the Euganean Hills, is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia and is associated with Petrarch. The surrounding landscape is a mix of wooded slopes, vineyards, olive groves and cultivated plain.
