At €593/m² before works, this is already 41% above the €421/m² local benchmark; assuming substantial renovation, the effective cost is about €1,293/m². The listing gives no condition, year, or energy details and has only one photo, so the house’s true quality is difficult to verify.
More on the house and the area
This is a reasonably sized detached country house, but there is no usable photo evidence of beauty, views, historic character, or outdoor space. With condition and interior details missing, it cannot currently be assessed as a compelling dream home.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
- Only a placeholder image is available, so the house’s appearance and setting cannot be judged.
- Condition, interior finish, utilities, and actual livability are not provided.
- The listing shows only one bathroom for 150 sqm and three bedrooms.
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

Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status for the Este city and the Po Delta cultural landscape. The wider area is known for arable farming and land reclamation.
