See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction for a mixed agricultural compound containing stables, haylofts, storage buildings and farmland, rather than a straightforward villa purchase. Although the advertised price is €274/m² for 219 m², the auction and agricultural-use elements make it unsuitable as a normal buyer-ready home deal.
More on the house and the area
A substantial old rural farmhouse with traditional shutters, a decorative cornice and a strong Italian agricultural-court character. It is advertised as habitable, but the facade looks tired and the auction property is a complicated multi-building estate rather than a polished dream home; its low price is the main appeal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- The exterior is visibly weathered, with peeling render and a neglected gravel courtyard.
- This is an auction sale involving a complex agricultural estate, including stables, barns, storage buildings and agricultural land.
- No bathroom is listed in the facts, so actual residential usability and renovation needs require careful verification.
- The photos show only the exterior, with no proof of attractive interiors, views or finished living spaces.
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 34/100This is the lower Po plain around the Po River, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and embanked roads. The Po is the main named landscape feature within reach. Mantova is the nearest major city of size, with a historic centre and services, but it is outside the immediate area. This part of the province is known for intensive farming and for the lowland river plain landscape between Lombardy and Veneto.
