The asking price is €295/m², slightly below the local €324/m² benchmark, but allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable property brings the effective cost to about €495/m². The generous 234 m² size, garage and balcony are positives, while Terragnolo is a remote inland location with no evident location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable alpine townhouse with an exceptional balcony view over the dramatic Terragnolo mountain valley. Traditional wooden floors, shutters, terrazzo, balconies, and a large usable interior give it real character, although the home needs modernization and attention to visible moisture damage.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €26,000
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 house is habitable but visibly dated, with old fixtures and furnishings throughout.
- There appears to be damp or mold damage around the stairwell that needs investigation.
- Only one bathroom is listed for the large 234 sqm home, and the steep mountain setting may mean challenging access.
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 69/100The cluster is in the Terragnolo valley on the south side of the Trentino pre-Alps, with steep wooded slopes and scattered hamlets below the Pasubio group. The Leno di Terragnolo stream runs through the valley and Rovereto is the nearest town of size, with a full range of services, a railway station and museums. The Pasubio area, with mountain roads and First World War sites around the Pian delle Fugazze side, lies within this mountain setting. The area is known for its small contrade and chestnut-and-forest valley landscape rather than for a major lake or monument.
