See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 (€511/m²), this 137 m² villa needs renovation estimated at about €700/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,211/m² versus a local reference around €353/m². The large garden, garage and three bedrooms add usability, but the rural location and renovation burden do not justify this premium; the listing does not state an energy class.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious, solid-looking 1970s semi-detached home with a genuinely attractive private garden, mature trees, ornamental planting, and useful outdoor space. The interiors are bright and usable with intact terrazzo floors, radiators, and a functioning-looking bathroom, but they are very dated and need a meaningful renovation rather than simple decorating.
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€27,000 – €48,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 58/100This is the southern Padovano plain near the Adige, in a flat agricultural landscape of fields, drainage canals and scattered villages. The Colli Euganei rise to the north at roughly 15 km and are the nearest distinct relief; they form a regional park with volcanic hills, woods, vineyards and spa towns around the margins. Monselice is the nearest larger town in the area, with a walled hill, a castle complex and rail links; Este is also nearby and has a historic centre and the Carraresi castle. The area is known for irrigated agriculture on the plain, with the Euganean hills marking the main landscape feature of daily life nearby.
