See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 (€590/m²), this unfinished shell needs substantial work; using an estimated €1,100/m² renovation budget, the effective cost is about €1,690/m² versus a local benchmark of €408/m². The garage, terraces and panoramic view add appeal, but the renovation burden overwhelms the asking-price discount.
More on the house and the area
The property has a completed-looking roof structure, concrete stairs, a garage, and a reasonable 134 sqm layout, but the photos show only exposed brick, bare concrete floors, scaffolding, and construction materials. It may become a practical townhouse, but there is no proven view, historic character, finished interior, or other strong dream-home feature yet.
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€53,000 – €78,000
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 finished bathroom, kitchen, flooring, or interior installations are visible.
- Major renovation and fit-out costs are likely; utilities and compliance should be verified.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Belluno pre-Alps at the foot of the Feltrino and the Vette Feltrine, with the Dolomite groups of the Belluno area further north. The Piave valley and the lower course of the Cismon are the main nearby river corridors, and the area lies close to the western edge of the Parco Nazionale delle Dolomiti Bellunesi. The nearest substantial town is Feltre, which has a walled historic centre, Renaissance and medieval buildings, and rail and daily services. The San Martino di Castrozza ski lifts are reachable by mountain road in roughly an hour, but they are outside the local 15 km landscape. The area is known for mountain valleys, woods and pasture between Feltre and the Primiero route.
