300 m² semi-detached house split into two apartments; I used €200/m² for likely 'habitable' work giving an effective price ≈ €783/m² (price + renovation) versus the regional baseline €571/m², about 37% higher. The listing does not state the property condition.
More on the house and the area
Solid, lived-in country bifamiliare set in a big private lawn with a separate service/garage building. Interiors are clean and fully floored with working radiators and bathrooms, but finishes (kitchen/bath tiles, basic doors) are dated — a light-to-medium refresh would make this an immediately comfortable home.
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 tiles and finishes — cosmetic updating recommended
- Kitchen area shows only fittings/tiles and will need refitting
- Detached outbuilding may need separate renovation and service checks
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 is the lower Po plain around the Valli di Comacchio and the wetlands of the Parco regionale del Delta del Po. The Reno river runs nearby and the landscape is flat, with reclaimed farmland, canals, embankments and wetland basins. Comacchio is the nearest place of note, with a historic centre built on canals and lagoon environment. Ravenna is the nearest larger city, with full services and major early Christian monuments. The area is known for eel fishing, reclaimed marshland and birdlife in the Po Delta.
