What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable townhouse (93sqm, 3 rooms, 2 baths) in Venzone at 839 EUR/m2, priced 2.4x the local median of 346 EUR/m2. The high multiple is a concern, though median baseline may include unrenovated/mixed stock and doesn't necessarily reflect a move-in-ready home with panoramic terraces. Description implies good condition (no ruin/renovation language), which partly justifies the premium over median. Fresh listing (2 days). Modest renovation reserve assumed given apparent livable state. Net: likely a fair-to-modest property but the price sits well above local benchmarks with missing verification data, so overpriced pending inspection of actual condition.
More on the house and the area
Modest townhouse in the mountain hamlet of Pioverno, Venzone. The clear wow element is the mountain setting: multiple balconies with panoramic views of the surrounding peaks, plus greenery. The building exterior is an ordinary yellow terraced block, and interiors are dated and cluttered (terracotta floors, old kitchen, mismatched furniture). Two bedrooms each with private terrace is a nice touch. At €839/m² it's cheap but not a dramatic bargain for this rural area, and nothing about the property is scroll-stopping beyond the alpine backdrop. Solid but ordinary overall.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €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.
- Dated interior with tired furnishings and old-style tile floors
- Cluttered, lived-in rooms in photos
- No renovation, energy class or build year data
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 82/100The Julian Prealps and the Carnic Alps frame this part of the Tagliamento valley. The Tagliamento river runs by Venzone, with a broad gravel-bed alpine river landscape that is unusual in Italy. The area is at the edge of the Parco Naturale delle Prealpi Giulie. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Zoncolan and at Sella Nevea, both roughly about an hour’s drive depending on road conditions. Gemona del Friuli is the nearest larger town, with rail services, shops and daily services; Udine is farther south for a fuller range of urban services. Venzone is known for its intact medieval walls and rebuilt historic centre, and it is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia.
