At €55,000 plus an estimated €81,200 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,174/m²—nearly three times the local €409/m² benchmark. The brief listing gives little detail about the renovation scope or finished-home potential, making this a weak proposition.
More on the house and the area
The property has genuine rustic character, old stone walls, timber framing, a large green garden, and an attractive mountain backdrop. However, the photos show an unfinished agricultural building with raw interiors and no visible living facilities, so it is a major conversion project rather than a home you could realistically occupy soon.
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€23,000 – €41,000
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.

- This appears to be an agricultural barn/rustico rather than a currently habitable home.
- No bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, or finished living interiors are shown; substantial renovation is required.
- The aged roof, timber structure, and masonry should be professionally inspected for water damage and structural work.
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 67/100The cluster is in the upper Agno valley at the foot of the Piccole Dolomiti, with Prealpine slopes and ridgelines closing the valley on both sides. The Agno river runs through Valdagno. The nearest mountain landscape is the chain above Recoaro Terme and the Passo delle Piccole Dolomiti area, about 10 to 15 km away, with the small ski area of Recoaro Mille roughly a 30 minute drive. Vicenza is the nearest larger city, with rail services, a full range of shops and hospitals, and Palladian monuments including the UNESCO city centre and villas in the wider province. The area is known for its valley industry around wool textiles and for access to the southern Vicentine Prealps.
