Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €50,000 but needs renovation estimated €700/m² → renovation ≈ €84,000 and effective cost ≈ €134,000 (≈€1,117/m²) versus regional baseline €350/m². Short description and 8 photos; 84 km from the sea, so after repairs this will be substantially above typical local values.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roofed village house with a very photogenic stone barn/arcade and a generous private garden — lovely rustic character and great value at €50k. The main dwelling looks intact but needs updating; the outbuildings require repair, so budget for renovation and utility checks.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.

- Attached stone barn/arcade is partly dilapidated and would need structural attention
- No interior photos or confirmed utilities/energy class — check heating/electrics before purchase
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 62/100The cluster sits at the foot of the Vicentine Prealps, with Monte Summano immediately above the plain and the Pasubio massif and Piccole Dolomiti within the local mountain backdrop. The Leogra valley opens here toward Schio and the upper valleys. Schio is the nearest town of size and has full daily services, a rail connection, and a substantial historic industrial centre. Vicenza is the nearest provincial capital for higher-order services. This part of the province is known for its mix of prealpine slopes, small valley settlements, and the textile-industrial belt at the edge of the plain.
