At €85,000 (listed €405/m²) and with a conservative €200/m² refurbishment estimate (≈€42,000) the effective price is ≈€127,000 or ≈€605/m² — well above the Veneto median of €350/m². The property is habitable with autonomous heating, garage and 19 photos, but the high effective €/m² makes it overpriced for the area.
More on the house and the area
A solid, habitable two‑storey villa with garage and cellar — roomy and liveable now but very plain inside. Bright painted exterior and generous floor area are appealing, yet the interior is dated and lacks a private garden or special views.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Plain, dated interiors (old tiles and terrazzo) need cosmetic updating
- Only one bathroom for a 3‑bed layout
- Small paved yard and no scenic views; attached to neighbouring buildings
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 54/100This is the southern Vicenza plain between the Berici Hills to the north-west and the lower Euganean Hills to the south-east, with open agricultural land around the town. The Frassine and other minor waterways drain the area toward the Bacchiglione system. The nearest larger towns in daily use are Vicenza, Monselice and Este, which provide rail links, hospitals and full services. The Berici Hills within reach are known for villas, wooded slopes and limestone landscapes, including Villa Saraceno at Agugliaro, a Palladian villa with UNESCO protection as part of the City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto.
