The €50,000 asking price is attractive at €267/m², but the listing does not state the condition; for a rustic farmhouse rated G, a €700/m² renovation allowance brings the effective cost to about €967/m², far above the €317/m² local benchmark. Four bedrooms, a garage, cellar and garden add value, but the missing condition details make this a weak deal until the structure and habitability are verified.
More on the house and the area
A substantial traditional farmhouse in a very attractive green Veneto hillside setting, with broad garden space, terracotta roofs, garage, and cellar. The house is roofed and appears structurally present rather than a ruin, but its worn exterior and complete lack of interior photos make it difficult to confirm whether it is move-in ready or a substantial renovation project.
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€37,000 – €66,000
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 interior condition, kitchen, utilities, and actual habitability are not shown.
- Old roof tiles, weathered plaster, shutters, and concrete surfaces suggest meaningful renovation or modernization.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 187 sqm, four-bedroom farmhouse.
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 57/100The cluster is in the eastern Lessini foothills, with low pre-Alpine ridges and wooded valleys immediately west and north of Chiampo. The Chiampo valley runs through the area. Within about 15 km, Arzignano is the nearest larger town and has the main services and employment base. Vicenza lies farther east and matters for commuting, but it is outside the immediate landscape. This part of western Veneto is known for small industrial towns, vineyards on the lower hills, and the transition from plain to pre-Alpine valleys.
