Property prices

To buy

€885 /m²

Buying in Villanova d'Ardenghi is below the Pavia average of €1,069/m². Based on a single OMI micro-zone, so it describes the town as one market. OMI records no rental figures here.

Condition

Housing here in excellent condition costs 23% more than ordinary condition — €1,090/m² against €885.

That gap is what the market charges for a place you don’t have to work on. It is not what the work would cost you — OMI prices property, not builders.

House or apartment

A detached house here averages €820/m², against €885 for an apartment.

OMI prices “Ville e Villini” separately from the apartments every other figure on this page describes. Nationally a house costs about 14% more per square meter, but in 450 comuni it costs less — worth checking rather than assuming.

Agenzia delle Entrate — Osservatorio del Mercato Immobiliare (OMI), semester 2025 H2. Figures are midpoints of OMI’s surveyed ranges for “Abitazioni civili” in normal condition — a guide to the market, not a valuation of any particular property. OMI is Agenzia delle Entrate’s official range of market values per m², built from recorded sales and appraisals. Asking prices on listing sites are what sellers hope for, and usually run higher.

Seismic zone

Villanova d'Ardenghi is in seismic zone 3. Of the four zones, zone 1 is the highest hazard and zone 4 the lowest. The Department of Civil Protection describes zone 3 as a zone where strong earthquakes are less likely than in zones 1 and 2.

This is the legal classification the Region gave the comune, used for planning and for control of building works. It is not a forecast, and it says nothing about the building you are looking at: since the 2018 building code the design load of a new building comes from site-specific hazard, not from the zone. Have any specific property checked by a qualified engineer.

Not to be confused with the “seismic” routes of the 7% pensioner regime. Those turn on whether the comune was in the 2009 L’Aquila or 2016–17 central-Italy earthquake areas, not on its zone, and being in zone 1 does not make anyone eligible for that regime, or for any tax treatment.

Hospital, airport and daily-needs distance

Nearest hospital: Fond.Ist.Neurol.C.Mondino-Pavia, about 13.7 km / 13 minutes by road from Villanova d'Ardenghi (the main town).

The nearest hospital with inpatient beds in the Ministero della Salute's 2023 list. A hospital with beds is not necessarily one with an emergency department. Ministero della Salute (2023); positions and roads © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). See every comune on the map

Nearest emergency department: Policlinico S. Matteo - Pavia (DEA level II), about 15.2 km / 15 minutes by road from Villanova d'Ardenghi (the main town).

The nearest hospital the Ministero della Salute lists in its emergency network (31 December 2025) as DEA level I or II or Pronto Soccorso. A Pronto Soccorso is not the same as a DEA: a DEA is a larger emergency department with more specialties on site. It is not a service guarantee; confirm with the local health authority.

That hospital is a DEA level II, so it is also the nearest DEA (level I or II). See the nearest DEA for every comune

Nearest airport: Milano Linate Airport (LIN), about 51.9 km / 35 minutes by road from Villanova d'Ardenghi (the main town).

The nearest of the airports where ENAC recorded at least 4,000 passengers in 2025; this leaves out two airports that carried almost none (Taranto-Grottaglie, Brescia-Montichiari).

Nearest supermarket (OpenStreetMap): MD, about 2.9 km / 3 minutes by road from Villanova d'Ardenghi (the main town).

The nearest supermarket as OpenStreetMap volunteers have mapped it. There is no official national list, so a store missing from the map is missing here.

Nearest pharmacy: Farmacia Mazzocchi Snc di Mazzocchi Antonella e C, about 1.8 km / 3 minutes by road from Villanova d'Ardenghi (the main town).

Measured by road from the main town of the comune (its OpenStreetMap place point; the geographic center for the few comuni with none), at free-flow speeds with no traffic. It is approximate. For Villanova d'Ardenghi, a trip from your own address can take longer or shorter. Drive the route before you rely on it, and ask the local health authority which hospital serves the town. Shops, pharmacies and stations are the nearest to the main town, not to your address.
