What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
As listed: €75,000 for 550 m² but “Needs renovation” — estimated renovation €700/m² → total ≈ €460,000 or ≈ €836/m². That effective price is about double the regional median of €409/m²; good photos and garage/cantina help, but the large renovation burden makes this overpriced for the area.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roofed whole building with large, intact rooms and a dramatic mountain backdrop — very liveable once renovated. The ground floor's old bar/restaurant fit-out and the roadside location are practical considerations, but at this price it’s a real bargain and a realistic conversion to a beautiful home.
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€109,000 – €193,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Needs renovation (cosmetic updates and likely system work)
- Fronting a main road — traffic noise and limited privacy
- Ground floor has former commercial fit-out (pizza oven/counter) so conversion work or permits may be needed
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 71/100The area is in the upper Val d'Astico, with the southern edge of the Vicentine Prealps around it and steep wooded slopes closing the valley. The Astico river runs through the valley floor. The Altopiano dei Sette Comuni lies nearby to the east, and the Pasubio and Piccole Dolomiti group are within the surrounding mountain system. The nearest ski area is Folgaria-Fiorentini, reached in about 35–45 minutes by road depending on the hamlet. Arsiero is the nearest small service town in the valley; Thiene and Schio are the larger towns used for broader services and rail connections. The area is known for its prealpine valley landscape and mountain access rather than for a major protected status or a single monument site within the immediate radius.
