What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €39,000 for 190 sqm, the asking price is just €205/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €464/sqm; even adding an estimated €700/sqm renovation budget, the total effective cost is about €905/sqm, which is still plausible for a very large townhouse. The description stresses size, privacy and investment potential near the coast, and 21 photos with no legal-use red flags support this as a strong value renovation play rather than a trap.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, extremely cheap house with usable space and a lived-in interior, so it feels like a real home rather than a shell. But the photos show little beauty or character, and there are clear signs of age, damp and cosmetic neglect that make it more practical project than dream-home material.
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€38,000 – €67,000
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.
- Very dated interiors and tired overall presentation
- Visible damp/staining and peeling in some rooms
- Only one bathroom shown for a very large house
- Roadside setting with no view or special outdoor space evident
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 71/100The cluster lies in the Po Delta plain, with canals, embankments and reclaimed farmland around the branches of the Po. The Po di Goro and Po di Venezia are the defining waterways of this part of the delta. The Po Delta Regional Park extends through the surrounding area, with wetlands, fishing valleys and lagoon environments toward the coast. Ariano and the nearby delta settlements are known for rice cultivation and other reclaimed-land agriculture, and for fishing and aquaculture closer to the lagoons. Adria is the nearest larger town with daily services, rail links and a historic center.
