The house requires complete renovation: the estimated all-in cost is about €147,000, or €1,838/m², versus a local reference of €403/m². The 700 m² garden and two garages add utility, but the listing does not specify the living layout and the price is weak for such an intensive project.
More on the house and the area
The property has some appealing old-house character, especially the colorful shutters, independent entrance, and large 700 m² garden. However, the photos show a heavily weathered house with damp staining and makeshift roof protection, while the description explicitly says it needs complete renovation. This is a substantial project rather than a realistically livable dream home at present.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €47,000
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.
- Complete renovation is required, with visible damp, weathered façades, and improvised roof coverings.
- No usable interior, kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom is shown; the listing reports zero rooms and bathrooms.
- Large corrugated outbuildings and garage/storage structures may add practical value but reduce visual appeal.
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 51/100The area is the eastern edge of the Padua built-up plain, with the Brenta river system running through Noventa Padovana and Stra close by on the Riviera del Brenta. The nearest city of size is Padova, immediately to the west, with full urban services, rail connections, hospitals and the university. Along the Brenta axis the area is known for the line of Venetian villas, including Villa Pisani at Stra. Venice and the lagoon are farther east and matter for access, but they are outside the immediate 15 km landscape.
