See what needs doing and what each job costs
As listed €60,000 for 258 m² with an estimated €700/m² renovation gives an effective cost ≈ €240,600 (~€933/m²) versus the regional median €345/m², so the heavy renovation burden makes the overall value weak. Positives: large private garden, five double bedrooms, separate magazzino and multiple garages and 27 photos — worth considering only if you can absorb major renovation costs.
More on the house and the area
A handsome, characterful Veneto farmhouse with original checkered tiles, wood-beamed ceilings, multiple fireplaces, a big private garden and separate garage/magazzino — very photogenic and roomy. The building is solid and partially lived-in but requires sensible updating (bathrooms, kitchen, wiring and some damp repairs) before being fully comfortable.
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€51,000 – €90,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs renovation and updating (kitchen and bathrooms).
- Some damp/water staining visible on ceilings — check roof and moisture.
- Electrical/wiring looks dated and may need replacing.
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 39/100The area is the lower Po plain on and around the Po di Venezia, with levees, canals, poplar groves and arable land. The Po river system is the main landscape feature within the radius, and Ferrara is the nearest city of size with a full historic centre and services. The Delta del Po regional park lies nearby to the south and east, but the cluster itself is inland on the plain rather than in the lagoon and dune landscape of the delta. This part of Polesine is known for river engineering, reclaimed land and agriculture.
