Price €65,000 for 107 m² plus estimated €700/m² renovation (€74,900) yields a total ≈€139,900 — about €1,307/m², over three times the regional baseline of €418/m². The villa has original 1970s finishes and energy class G with garage and garden, but the large renovation burden makes it an overpriced offer.
More on the house and the area
Solid, roomy bifamiliare with a private garden on three sides and usable garage/storage beneath. The apartment is lived-in but retains original finishes from the 70s — not glamorous but perfectly serviceable and a very affordable canvas for modernization.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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.

- Dated 1960s/70s finishes — will need modernization (kitchen, bathroom, insulation).
- Energy class G — expect higher heating costs and potential upgrades.
- Primary living is on the first floor reached by external stairs (accessibility consideration).
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 38/100This is Po plain country on the lower Oglio and Po rivers, with flat agricultural land, irrigation canals, embankments and poplar cultivation around the villages. The Po is the main landscape feature within reach, with riverbank roads, levees and patches of riparian woodland. Cremona is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, the cathedral and Torrazzo, and the city's violin-making tradition is the best-known cultural reference for the area.
