See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €60,000 asking price is only €261/m², but the house is explicitly described as needing renovation; with an estimated €700/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €221,000 (€961/m²), far above the local €405/m² benchmark. The large garden and generous size add appeal, but the listing does not state the building year or provide a detailed renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
A large independent country house with mature shade trees, open countryside around it, and a generous private outdoor area gives this property genuine rural potential. The roofed, floored house includes multiple rooms and two bathrooms, but it is a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in-ready 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€46,000 – €81,000
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 property is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with visibly worn façades, cracked plaster, peeling finishes, and extensive exterior clutter.
- Interiors are usable in layout but dated and partly neglected, with damaged surfaces and old fixtures.
- The rural setting appears peaceful and spacious, but there is no spectacular sea, mountain, or historic-borgo view shown.
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 62/100This is the lower plain between Ravenna and the Po Delta, with reclaimed agricultural land, drainage canals and pinewoods toward the coast. The Reno River reaches the Adriatic a short distance east of Alfonsine. The southern part of the Po Delta Regional Park is within this radius, including the wetland and lagoon areas around Valle Mandriole and the mouth zones toward Casalborsetti. Ravenna is the nearest city of size, with extensive historic monuments including UNESCO-listed early Christian buildings. The wider area is known for wetlands, birdlife, fishing valleys and reclaimed farmland.
