This well-maintained 113 m² country house costs €796/m², substantially above the €465/m² local comparison level. The double garage, garden area, five rooms and two bathrooms support the price, but the premium is high for a non-tourist inland location.
More on the house and the area
A solid, genuinely usable 113 sqm home with two bathrooms, working kitchen, garage, small garden, and a pleasant terracotta-floored living room with fireplace. It offers practicality and space rather than spectacular Italian beauty: the setting is ordinary and finishes are dated, but it appears move-in ready with scope for cosmetic refreshes.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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€4,000 – €6,000
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 fully equipped and appears immediately livable, but interiors and bathrooms are dated.
- Exterior plaster shows patching, cracks, and general maintenance wear.
- The garden area is small and currently overgrown rather than landscaped.
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 36/100This is the Po plain south of Pavia, with flat cultivated land and the Po nearby. The area is part of the Oltrepò Pavese, known for vineyards on the first hills farther south, but around San Cipriano Po the immediate landscape is mainly lowland fields, irrigation channels and scattered farmsteads. Stradella is the nearest town of some size, with everyday services and a rail link.
