See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 (€600/m²), the purchase price is already above the local €379/m² benchmark, and the house needs substantial restoration with no heating system. Estimated total cost is about €234,000, or €1,800/m², despite useful independent access, garden, cellar and double garage.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, genuinely usable three-level home with a private garden, terrace, garage/portico, mountain views and a few traditional touches such as wood floors and a stove. The interiors are functional but very dated, while the exterior, cellar and utilities need meaningful renovation; the lack of heating keeps it well below dream-home territory.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,200/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€51,000 – €76,000
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 needs restoration, especially the visibly weathered exterior and service areas.
- There is no heating system, a major practical issue for year-round living in a mountain setting.
- Only one bathroom is shown for four bedrooms.
- The garden and outbuildings appear usable but somewhat rough and dated.
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 72/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Venetian Prealps, with the Altopiano di Asiago rising immediately to the north and northwest and wooded slopes and limestone ridges closing the upper Astico valley. The Astico river runs through this area. The northern edge of the province here links into the Prealpine mountain landscape associated with the Plateau of the Seven Municipalities, and roads climb quickly from the valley floor toward mountain villages and high pastures. The nearest substantial town is Schio, which has full services, industry, and a larger historic centre. This part of the Vicenza foothills is known for its First World War mountain front and for hiking and cycling routes on the Asiago plateau.
