Price €37,110 for 189 m² plus an estimated €200/m² refresh (€37,800) gives an effective cost ≈€74,910 or ≈€396/m², above the Veneto baseline of €350/m². The villa appears habitable and well-equipped with 31 photos, but the listing shows 0 bathrooms (data missing).
More on the house and the area
A large, affordable farmhouse-style property in a lovely meadow/forest setting with good potential and usable spaces (garage/cellar/terraces). The house appears structurally present and habitable but shows many worn external elements and outbuildings that will need repair or improvement to be a comfortable year-round 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€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- Exterior wooden stairs and railings look worn and potentially unsafe — likely need replacement.
- Roof panels, metal tank and polycarbonate lean‑tos show rust/age and will require repair or upgrading.
- No bathrooms shown in the listing photos/data and many outbuildings are utilitarian — expect interior work to make it a comfortable home.
- Remote meadow/forest location may mean limited immediate services and seasonal access issues.
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 77/100The cluster is on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni, a high karst plateau between the Venetian Prealps, with extensive forest and pasture and higher relief rising at the edges of the plateau. The nearest ski areas are the lifts around Melette and Verena on the Asiago plateau, reached in a short drive from Roana. Asiago is the nearest town of size, with the main services of the plateau and a historic centre rebuilt after the First World War. This area is known for the First World War sites on the plateau, including forts, military roads and memorial landscapes, and for mountain pasture and dairy production linked to Asiago cheese.
