See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €33,000 (€367/m²), the house is priced above the local €292/m² benchmark before renovation, and restoring the 90 m² main home could bring the effective cost to roughly €1,067/m². The second building may improve the value, but its legal status and usable area are not clearly established; the listing also says there is no private garden despite the garden tag.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine small village house in the Natisone Valleys, with some old stone character, timber ceilings and a glimpse of wooded mountain scenery. However, the main home is not move-in ready: it has serious moisture and finish problems, while the additional building is largely a restoration 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€18,000 – €32,000
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 main house needs substantial renovation, with widespread damp, peeling ceilings and damaged finishes.
- The kitchen and bathroom areas appear incomplete or unusable in their current state.
- The second stone building is heavily overgrown and appears close to ruin, requiring major works.
- There is no private garden; the property faces a shared internal courtyard.
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 71/100The cluster is in the Natisone valleys under the eastern Friulian Prealps, with low limestone and wooded ridges rising close around the settlements. The Natisone river runs through this area. The Slovenian border is very close, and the landscape is that of the Valli del Natisone rather than the Friulian plain. Cividale del Friuli is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and the Lombard UNESCO site. This area is known for the Slovene-speaking valleys and for mixed hill farming, woods and small villages on the valley sides.
