What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 110 sqm, the asking price is €773/sqm; assuming a standard renovation budget of about €700/sqm because condition is unspecified, the effective cost is roughly €1,473/sqm. That is far above the very low Veneto country-house baseline of €332/sqm, and the listing is too vague (3 photos, minimal description) to justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a functional, affordable house rather than a dream property. The kitchen and bathroom suggest it is basically usable, but the exterior is very plain and the photos show little charm, view, or lifestyle appeal. At the price and size it has practical value, but limited wow.
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€22,000 – €39,000
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.
- Plain exterior with little charm or setting
- No view, terrace appeal, or proven outdoor living space
- Interiors shown are basic and somewhat unfinished
- Only 3 photos, so character and full condition are not well demonstrated
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 68/100The cluster is in the Po Delta, among the branches of the Po and reclaimed flatlands close to the Adriatic. The Po di Venezia and Po di Levante are the defining waterways in this area. Much of the surrounding landscape falls within the Parco Regionale Veneto del Delta del Po. The coast at Boccasette, Scanno Boa and the barrier spits and lagoons of the delta are within the local area. Adria is the nearest larger town, with everyday services and a museum linked to the ancient Etruscan and Greek port history of the area. The area is known for wetlands, fishing, aquaculture and rice and other delta agriculture.
