What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €480,000 for 120 m2 is €4,000/m2; adding an estimated €700/m2 renovation (€84k) yields an effective ~€4,700/m2, nearly 9.7× the Veneto baseline of €486/m2. Very central (walking distance to Piazza San Marco) but the price is far above comparable stock in our catalog.
More on the house and the area
An exceptional independent ‘terra-cielo’ in the heart of Venice with a private rooftop terrace, charming wrought-iron details and classic Venetian rooftop views — truly a rare city-centre setting. The interior is clean and move-in ready though compact, so this is both a beautiful and genuinely liveable home that will need minor terrace maintenance and accepts the compromises of central urban living.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.
- Compact layout with relatively small rooms and just one bathroom
- Roof terrace surface and metalwork look weathered and will need upkeep
- Very central/touristy location — neighbours close and no wide lagoon view
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

The lagoon itself is a named landscape feature with islands, salt marshes and tidal channels, and Venice and its Lagoon are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mestre on the mainland is the nearest large urban centre with the main rail links, services and road access. The wider area is known for the historic fabric of Venice, the lagoon environment and canal-based urban form.
