At €26,000 plus an estimated €35,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,220/m²—nearly three times the local €418/m² benchmark. Castelgomberto is inland, and the brief listing gives no additional features that justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
A very atmospheric little Veneto townhouse with handsome stonework, rustic plaster, exposed beams and an unusually characterful old timber-and-reed roof structure. The shell appears roofed and floored rather than ruined, but the interiors are essentially unfinished and not currently a move-in home; its €26,000 price makes it an appealing restoration project rather than a ready-made dream house.
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€10,000 – €18,000
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.

- Substantial renovation appears necessary; the photos show unfinished, largely empty interiors.
- No kitchen or finished bathroom is visible, so practical livability and utilities need verification.
- Roof structure and old timber floors appear intact but should be professionally assessed.
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.
