Using a modest renovation estimate of €100/m² the effective price is €94,500 (~€652/m²), well above the local median of €359/m², so this is expensive for Emilia Romagna. The house is habitable with many photos, garage and a new boiler, so condition seems honest but the per‑m² cost is high.
More on the house and the area
Large, ready-to-live villa with a private garden, covered patio and garage — good practical layout and a new boiler. Interiors are serviceable but dated, so this is a solid, affordable home that needs mostly cosmetic refreshing rather than major work.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Interior fittings and bathrooms are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updates
- No scenic sea or mountain views visible in photos; suburban setting
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 lies in the lower Po plain beside the Po di Levante branch and the network of embanked waterways of the Polesine. This is flat agricultural country shaped by reclaimed land, canals and riverbanks. Adria is the nearest town of size, with everyday services and a museum linked to the ancient Greek and Etruscan port history of the area. The Po Delta regional park landscape is nearby toward the east, but the immediate surroundings are inland plain rather than the lagoon and dune edge. The area is known for river embankments, drainage works and broad arable farmland.
