The €3,600 asking price is exceptionally low at €103/m², but allowing roughly €700/m² for an unknown condition brings the effective cost to about €906/m², above comparable local listings. The description is extremely sparse and does not confirm habitable condition, bathroom facilities, or required work.
More on the house and the area
The ornate historic apartment façade gives this tiny home some genuine character, while the modern kitchen, flooring, and bathroom details suggest renovation potential. However, the gallery also shows a neglected interior and does not establish that the apartment is fully usable or 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€7,000 – €12,000
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 gallery is inconsistent: it shows both a polished modern interior and a very dark, visibly neglected bedroom.
- No complete bathroom is shown, and the listing records zero bathrooms.
- Only 35 sqm with one room; verify the actual condition, layout, utilities, and whether the photos belong to this apartment.
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 49/100The cluster is in the foothill belt west of Vicenza, with the Lessini mountains rising to the south-west and west within the local horizon. The Chiampo valley runs through this area, with mixed industry, housing and farmed slopes around the valley floor. The nearest larger city is Vicenza, which has a substantial historic centre, rail connections and city services. Verona is also part of daily life from here for work and transport. This part of western Veneto is known for tanning and manufacturing rather than for a protected landscape or a major named natural site within the immediate area.
