Asking €40,000 plus heavy restoration estimated at €1,100/m² (292 m² → ≈€321,200) yields an effective price ≈€1,237/m². That is about 3.6× the local median of €345/m² and the listing explicitly says a complete renovation is needed, so this is overpriced despite the large size and many photos.
More on the house and the area
A large, solid villa with period details (wooden parquet, classic stair, exposed beams) and a private terrace/garden — lots of space and character. The building is structurally present but needs a full refurbishment, making it a strong budget project or multi-unit conversion opportunity.
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€116,000 – €171,000
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 required (kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing and electrics).
- Signs of water damage/exposed roof timbers and cracked plaster in places.
- Windows, shutters and external finishes need repair; possible damp to investigate.
- No energy class or full utilities information provided — verify legal/title conditions.
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 35/100This is flat Po Valley country, with fields, drainage canals and levees between the lower Adige and Po systems. The Po is the main named landscape feature in this part of the province, with river embankments and riparian strips within the wider area. Badia Polesine is the nearest town of some size, with everyday services and a historic center. The area is known for agriculture and for the network of reclaimed lowland farmland typical of the Polesine.
