What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 (€195/m²), the 400 m² historic villa is far below the €353/m² Veneto baseline, but the “blank canvas” description and missing condition data imply major restoration. Estimated effective cost is about €1,295/m² (€518,000 total), making the project weak unless renovation needs are substantially lower.
More on the house and the area
This is an impressive historic Veneto house with original brickwork, shutters, decorative ceilings, old floors, a balcony and a generous garden. However, the interiors are essentially unfinished and uninhabitable as shown, with substantial restoration needed before it becomes a real home. The unusually low price for 400 sqm and land creates project appeal, but it is not a move-in dream.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€158,000 – €234,000
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.
- Major renovation appears necessary, including plastering, electrics, heating and likely plumbing.
- No usable kitchen or finished bathroom is shown in the gallery.
- Visible cracks, damp staining and heavily deteriorated finishes warrant a structural and roof inspection.
- The property is very large, so renovation and ongoing maintenance costs could be substantial.
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 33/100This is the flat Po Valley between the Adige and Po systems, with reclaimed agricultural land, canals and embankments as the main landscape. The Adige runs nearby, and the wider Polesine plain begins immediately to the south. Padova is the nearest major city in daily use, with full services, a university and major rail links. The area is known for intensive farming and drainage landscapes rather than for a named natural or historic site within the immediate surroundings.
