Large farmhouse 390 m² priced €60k but described as “da riattare”; estimated renovation ~€700/m² → ~€273k, so effective price ≈ €854/m² versus regional median €312/m², making it overpriced. Listing lacks condition/year/energy-class data which raises uncertainty despite good photos and garden/independent-entrance features.
More on the house and the area
Charming rural bifamiliare with intact roof, exposed beams and large private grounds — very photogenic and a genuine country home. Interiors are complete but dated and show damp and cosmetic/technical issues, so this is a good-value renovation project rather than a move-in-ready house.
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€77,000 – €137,000
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.
- Requires substantial interior renovation (kitchen, bathroom and systems) rather than light cosmetic work.
- Visible rising damp/peeling plaster on lower walls in several rooms.
- Only one bathroom for the large farmhouse; roadside position limits privacy.
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 35/100The area is the lower Veronese plain near the Adige valley, with flat agricultural land and drainage canals. The Adige runs a few kilometres to the west. Legnago is the nearest town of size, with the main services, shops and rail connections for this part of the plain. Verona is farther away but is the main city used for higher-level services and transport. This part of the plain is known for arable farming and irrigated countryside.
