What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 176 m², the house is €540/m² before renovation; adding an estimated €1,100/m² for a complete renovation gives an effective cost of about €1,640/m², versus the Veneto/Rovigo baseline of €333/m². The 5-day listing is new, but the renovation burden makes this materially overpriced.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious rural house with a generous green field, mature trees, garden space and useful parking/outbuildings. However, the property is a plain 1970s-style house rather than a characterful Italian dream home, and the interiors require substantial renovation despite having floors, windows and heating radiators.
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€70,000 – €103,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated, with major interior works clearly underway.
- Kitchen is stripped and structural support posts are visible inside; bathroom condition is not shown.
- Large outdoor areas appear basic and unfinished, with cracked concrete and utility/storage structures.
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 43/100The area is the lower Po plain, with flat agricultural land and a dense network of canals and drainage works. The Adige runs just north of Rovigo and the Po is to the south, shaping the wider Polesine landscape. The nearest town of size is Rovigo itself, which is a provincial capital with a historic centre, services and rail links. The area is known for reclaimed wetlands, irrigated farming and the river-landscape of the Polesine.
