Asking €595,000 for 426 m² (1,397 €/m²) versus the regional baseline of 410 €/m²; adding a modest €200/m² refit (€85k) gives an effective ~1,596 €/m², well above local norms. The property appears well-equipped (pool, park) but the price is significantly higher than comparable stock in the area.
More on the house and the area
A very attractive, lived‑in country villa with a huge covered loggia, tiled terraces, mature private park and a pool — all good signs of a ready-to-live home. Photos show well‑kept outdoor living areas and garages, but interior rooms (bedrooms/kitchen) aren’t clearly shown so full internal condition can’t be confirmed.
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€28,000 – €48,000
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.
- No clear photos of internal bedrooms/kitchen so interior condition of living spaces is not fully verifiable
- The swimming pool appears to be an above‑ground/temporary installation rather than an in‑ground pool
- Bright painted exterior may need periodic maintenance or cosmetic updating
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 32/100Flat agricultural plain of the Po Valley with intensive arable farming and a network of irrigation and drainage canals; no mountains or lakes inside the 15 km radius. The larger rivers of the province (Secchia, Panaro) and the Po river lie in the wider area rather than in the immediate surroundings. No national or regional park within the local 15 km radius. The Apennine foothills and nearest ski facilities are roughly a one to one-and-a-half hour drive to the south. The nearest town of size is Carpi (around 10–15 km), offering a large historic centre and full municipal services; Modena is the nearest provincial city (about 25 km) with main train links and major cultural institutions, and Bologna’s airport and rail hub are the principal regional transport links (around 45–60 km). The local economy includes industrial and biomedical manufacturing clustered around Mirandola itself. Mirandola was heavily damaged in the May 2012 Emilia earthquakes and much reconstruction and repair followed.
