Villetta a schiera in Piazzale Vittoria
Questo è un luogo magico. Uno di quei posti che, solo passarci qualche ora, ti dona sensazioni di pace e tranquillità uniche. Pensa se diventasse il "tuo" luogo magico, e -anziché qualche ora- potessi trascorrere qui il resto della tua vita. Siamo a Monselice, e più precisamente nella frazione di San Cosma.

What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 210 sqm, the ask is €357/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €403/sqm, so the sticker price is slightly below ordinary for this catalog. With condition unspecified, a prudent renovation allowance of about €700/sqm makes the effective cost much higher, but the large size, garden tag, 33 photos and Monselice location still make it a solid rather than exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, real house with a pleasant rural garden setting, traditional shutters, and an appealing old fireplace that gives it some character. It looks structurally like a usable home rather than a shell, with fitted kitchens and finished rooms, but the condition is tired and there are clear signs of damp, peeling plaster, and deferred maintenance. At €75k for 210 sqm, the price helps the appeal, yet this feels more like a solid refresh project than an instant dream home.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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 shows rising damp and peeling render at ground level
- Interiors are dated and need modernization
- Some ceilings/walls show water damage or cracking

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 sits at the eastern edge of the Euganean Hills, a volcanic hill group that rises out of the plain south of Padova. The Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei is within the area. Monselice itself has a substantial walled hill with the Rocca and the Mastio Federiciano above the town. Este, another town of size with services and a historic centre, is nearby at the foot of the same hills. The area is known for vineyard slopes, olive groves, villas and spa towns around the Euganean Hills.
