Price €22,500 for 106 m² but listed as “Needs renovation”; estimated renovation €700/m² → renovation ≈€74,200 and effective price ≈€96,700 (≈€912/m²) vs Veneto median €409/m², so overpriced for a full-renovation project. Positives: autonomous heating, garage and cellar are already present.
More on the house and the area
The apartment shows bright, recently‑refreshed rooms, attractive floors and a stylish bathroom, and includes garage and cantina — a real bargain at €22.5k for 106 m². However the listing notes renovation is needed and at least one bathroom area appears incomplete, so factor in finishing costs before calling it move‑in ready.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Listing states 'needs renovation' and one photo shows an unfinished shower — expect further works
- Some photos show plain/urban neighbouring blocks rather than a private garden or dramatic setting
- Confirm exactly which rooms are finished and check utilities/permits before buying
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 68/100The cluster is in the eastern Lessini, the prealpine plateau and ridge country north of the Val d’Alpone and Val d’Illasi. The area is cut by the Alpone stream valley, with wooded slopes, pasture and contrade scattered across the hills. The Parco Naturale Regionale della Lessinia lies nearby on the higher plateau to the northwest. The nearest town of size is San Bonifacio on the plain, with rail services and the usual commercial services, while Verona is the main city for higher-order services. This part of the Veronese hills is known for chestnut woods, pasture, and fossil sites around Bolca.
