Price €58,000 (≈€347/m2) is below the Veneto median (€409/m2), but estimated renovation €700/m2 makes total ≈€174,900 or ≈€1,048/m2—well above the regional median. Listing notes 16 photos and autonomous heating, but gives no year or energy class; heavy renovation burden makes this a poor value relative to local norms.
More on the house and the area
Lovely little terraced house with a photogenic arched facade, private lawn and an impressive open fireplace — lots of character. The building is largely solid and partly modernised (newer bedroom and kitchen in places), but several areas (garage/attic, some rooms and finishes) need renovation before it’s fully 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€33,000 – €59,000
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.

The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster sits at the eastern edge of the Colli Berici, a low limestone hill range with woods, quarries, vineyards and cultivated slopes. The Frassanelle and Euganean Hills area lies nearby to the southeast but outside the immediate setting. The nearest larger towns are Noventa Vicentina and Lonigo for daily services, while Vicenza is the main city of the province with the full rail, hospital and administrative offer. This part of the Berici is known for mixed farming, wine and stone from the hills.
