Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Description reads like a lived-in, attractive house so I used €200/m² (431 m² → €86,200 renovation), giving an effective price €215,200 or ≈€500/m², well above the Emilia‑Romagna baseline €338/m²; the listing also calls it a 'villetta a schiera' while the record types it as a farmhouse.
More on the house and the area
A large, solid terraced house with bright, generous rooms, painted exposed beams and a brick fireplace that give real character. It's a move-in-capable family home that will reward modest modernization, but it sits on a main street with little outdoor space and no scenic view.
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.
- Dated kitchens/bathrooms and interior finishes — cosmetic updating likely needed.
- Street-front location with limited privacy and no visible garden or outdoor space.
- No notable view — not a coastal or hillside setting despite being ~14 km from the sea.
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 55/100This is the flat lower plain around Ravenna, between reclaimed farmland and the Adriatic coast. The coastal belt within reach includes the long sandy shore at Marina di Ravenna and Punta Marina and the pinewoods of the Parco Regionale del Delta del Po, with wetlands, canals and lagoons toward the Comacchio side. Ravenna itself is a provincial capital with extensive services and a major group of early Christian monuments inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The area is also known for mosaics and for port and industrial infrastructure around the coast.
