What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €114/m², this is 82% below the local €630/m² benchmark. However, the listing gives almost no condition or layout detail and reports no bathroom; allowing about €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost to roughly €814/m².
More on the house and the area
Some gallery images show polished, modern interiors, but they are generic and do not establish a beautiful Italian home or a special setting. The reported 35 sqm apartment has no bathroom listed, while one photographed bathroom is clearly unfinished, so this is not a move-in-ready dream 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€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 listing states 35 sqm and zero bathrooms, so it does not appear immediately livable.
- One bathroom photo shows an unfinished installation with no visible fixtures.
- The gallery looks inconsistent with the tiny apartment facts and may contain staged or unrelated images.
- The extremely low price warrants careful verification of ownership, legality, utilities, and the actual property shown.
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.
