Price €89,000 for 300 m² = €297/m², slightly below the Veneto median of €312/m². Estimating modest renovation at €200/m² (≈€60k) gives an effective price ≈€149k (≈€497/m²), so it’s overpriced for the area despite 73 photos and two connected units.
More on the house and the area
Spacious, solid farmhouse with authentic terracotta floors, a central fireplace and a private garden — clearly a real, liveable two‑unit property. Interiors and exterior are dated and need cosmetic updating, but the house is roofed, habitable and excellent value for the size and price.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€20,000 – €34,000
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.
- dated bathrooms and finishes need updating
- garden and exterior need maintenance/clearing
- verify heating/electrics and overall systems
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 39/100This is the lower Po plain, with flat reclaimed farmland cut by canals and drainage ditches. The Po is the defining river of the area, with the Po di Venezia and other branches of the delta country to the south and east, though the main Delta landscape is beyond the immediate 15 km radius. The nearest town of size is Rovigo, which has the usual provincial services, rail links, and a compact historic centre with the two surviving towers of its medieval castle. This part of Polesine is known for river landscapes, land reclamation, and agriculture.
