At €85,000 for 326 m², the asking price is attractive, but the property is completely to renovate: roughly €359,000 in works brings the effective cost to about €1,361/m² versus €408/m² for comparable Veneto townhouses. The Dolomiti setting and panoramic views add appeal, but the remote location, no private parking, and extensive five-level conversion make this a weak financial proposition.
More on the house and the area
The Dolomite panorama is genuinely spectacular, and the house has strong alpine character with extensive wood paneling, traditional furniture, a stove, and exposed roof timbers. However, this is a large renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home: the interiors are usable in places but visibly dated, cracked, and in need of a comprehensive upgrade.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€129,000 – €191,000
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.
- The property is explicitly completely to renovate, despite having furnished rooms and existing bathrooms.
- Visible wall cracks, dated sanitary fittings, and a very rough attic/storage level suggest substantial technical and modernization work.
- No private parking is included; the home is spread over five levels.
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 91/100The cluster is in the Comelico valley in the eastern Dolomites, with the Dolomite groups around Santo Stefano and the upper Piave valley setting the immediate landscape. The Piave runs through the valley here. The Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park is not the local park here; the relevant protected mountain landscape nearby is the Dolomiti d’Ampezzo and other Dolomite protected areas farther west, but they are outside the immediate radius. The nearest ski area is the Comelico ski area around Padola, about a 15-minute drive, with larger Dolomite resorts farther away around Auronzo and Cortina. The nearest town of some size is Auronzo di Cadore, while Belluno is much farther down-valley and provides the larger range of services. The area is part of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage site. The area is known for high Dolomite mountain scenery, alpine valleys, and winter sports.
