What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €57,000 for 93 sqm, the ask is €613/sqm; the text ('tutta da reinventare') suggests a renovation project, so I estimate about €700/sqm works, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,313/sqm. That is far above this catalog baseline of €333/sqm for Veneto country houses, so despite the large garden the deal looks only fair; the sparse listing (1 photo, no clear condition/energy data) adds uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
The main appeal here is practical: a detached country house with a large private garden at a low price. But with no usable property photos and wording that suggests major updating, this reads more as a renovation project than an immediately dreamy home. Beauty and livability are unproven, so the wow is low.
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€18,000 – €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.
- Only one photo is available, so visual appeal cannot be verified
- Description suggests a house to be fully reinvented, likely needing significant renovation
- Interior condition, roof, and systems are not shown
- No proven view or historic character from the evidence provided
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.
