What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €454/m², the asking price is slightly above the Emilia-Romagna country-house baseline of €420/m²; assuming €200/m² for a broadly habitable but undocumented condition, effective cost is about €654/m². The 250 m² garden and 20 photos add appeal, but the listing gives no clear condition, year, or energy data.
More on the house and the area
A solid, independent two-level home with a generous private garden, mature fruit trees, working kitchen, heating, and clearly livable interiors. Its appeal is practical rather than spectacular: the house is spacious and usable, but the dated décor and weathered exterior keep it in the charming, renovation-light category rather than dream-home territory.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Exterior render is visibly weathered and dated.
- Interiors are fully usable but strongly old-fashioned and likely need cosmetic modernization.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 130 sqm, five-bedroom house.
- No notable view or special historic architecture is shown.
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 52/100The Po runs through this area, with embankments, reclaimed fields and wetland ground typical of the lower Ferrara plain. The Po Delta Regional Park is nearby on the Ferrarese side, with channels, marshes and fishing valleys closer to the delta. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a full range of services and a UNESCO-listed historic centre. This part of the province is known for river landscapes, land reclamation and agriculture.
