What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The asking price is attractive at €314/m² versus the Emilia-Romagna country-house baseline of €412/m², with a central Piazza Garibaldi location, garage and 153 photos. However, condition is unspecified; using a provisional €200/m² renovation allowance gives an effective cost of about €514/m², so the apparent discount is not yet proven.
More on the house and the area
A very large, genuinely livable 207 sqm town house with a working kitchen, two bathrooms, garage, multiple bedrooms, parquet floors, high ceilings, and some old-fashioned character such as the fireplace and exposed brick detailing. It is not a scenic countryside dream home—the frontage is ordinary and urban, with dated finishes and limited visible private garden space—but the scale and €65,000 price give it strong practical appeal.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but noticeably dated, especially the kitchen and bathroom.
- The home fronts directly onto a town square and appears to have little private outdoor space.
- Energy performance, structural condition, and renovation history are not provided.
- The garage/storage areas are cluttered and may need clearing or upgrading.
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 71/100The cluster lies in the Po Delta plain, with canals, embankments and reclaimed farmland around the branches of the Po. The Po di Goro and Po di Venezia are the defining waterways of this part of the delta. The Po Delta Regional Park extends through the surrounding area, with wetlands, fishing valleys and lagoon environments toward the coast. Ariano and the nearby delta settlements are known for rice cultivation and other reclaimed-land agriculture, and for fishing and aquaculture closer to the lagoons. Adria is the nearest larger town with daily services, rail links and a historic center.
