This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog and forces a trap rating. The raw ask is very low at €192/m² versus a €389/m² baseline, but auction risk overrides the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, substantial house rather than a shell: it has usable interiors, a fitted kitchen, staircase, bathroom and garage, so it looks broadly livable from day one. The wow comes more from the size, private outdoor area and very low price per square metre than from beauty, because the architecture and interiors are fairly ordinary and dated. It feels like a practical bargain villa with refresh potential, not a dream-photo stunner.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€19,000 – €33,000
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 is plain rather than picturesque.
- Interiors look dated and somewhat cluttered, so expect cosmetic updating.
- Auction sale adds procedural/legal complexity.
- Photos do not clearly prove standout views or high-end outdoor spaces.
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 43/100The cluster lies on the southern Venetian plain between the Bacchiglione and Brenta water systems, in flat reclaimed farmland with drainage canals and lagoon-edge wetlands. The Venetian Lagoon is nearby, and the southern lagoon landscape around Chioggia and the mouths of the Brenta and Adige shapes the area more than any hill or mountain. The nearest town of size is Chioggia, which has a historic centre, fishing port and daily services; Padova is the main larger city for higher-order services. The area is known for market gardening, reclaimed agricultural land and the lagoon-fishing environment.
