What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The text says this is an opportunity to personalize the home, so I treated it as needing renovation at about €700/m². That gives an effective cost of about €1,734/m² (€90,000 + ~€60,900 works on 87 m²), far above your Veneto baseline of €371/m², so despite being a detached villa it looks weakly priced for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
This is a straightforward detached house rather than a dream-home beauty piece. It is a real, roofed, tiled house with usable volume and a bathroom, but the interior shows neglect, damp and missing kitchen fittings, so it needs substantial work before it feels properly livable.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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 need major renovation and cleanup before comfortable living.
- Visible damp/mould and cracking on walls and ceilings.
- Kitchen is missing and finishes are worn throughout.
- Setting appears roadside and lacks any notable view.
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.
