What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €20,000 (€328/m²), the price is close to the Veneto/Rovigo baseline of €333/m², but the house requires renovation. Estimated all-in cost is about €62,700, or €1,028/m², with limited location premium at 38 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
This is a charming old single-story house with a traditional terracotta-tile roof, rustic façade, and a small private garden. However, it is clearly a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home, and the lack of interior photos makes livability uncertain.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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 house is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with heavily weathered façades and old windows and doors.
- No interior photos are provided, so the kitchen, bathroom, utilities, and structural condition cannot be verified.
- The garden is modest and the setting is a regular residential street rather than a scenic countryside location.
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.
