Price EUR75,000 plus estimated renovation EUR700/m² x 200m² ≈ EUR140,000 gives an effective cost of about EUR215,000 (≈EUR1,075/m²), far above the Veneto median of EUR317/m²; too expensive for a large farmhouse inland. Listing has many photos and mentions cellar/fireplace but the high renovation burden makes this an overpriced project.
More on the house and the area
A handsome stone farmhouse set in its own vineyard with dramatic mountain views — very photogenic and full of character (fireplaces, cellar). The building is a solid, roofed house that needs careful renovation (no obvious bath, some ceiling damage) but offers great value for a liveable, characterful home once refreshed.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.

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 81/100Monte Baldo surrounds the area, with steep pasture and woodland slopes and broad views over the ridge. Lake Garda lies immediately below on the western side of the mountain, with the nearest lakeshore around Malcesine and Brenzone. The Parco Naturale Locale del Monte Baldo covers much of this mountain environment. The Prada-Costabella lifts are the nearest ski lifts, on the Baldo side above San Zeno di Montagna, a short drive away. Malcesine is the nearest town of size on the lake and has the Scaliger castle, ferry connections and the Monte Baldo cable car. The area is known for mountain pasture, chestnut and beech woodland, and for Monte Baldo’s botanical richness.
