What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable condition suggests about €200/m² of works, so the effective cost is roughly €79,000 total or €1,129/m². Against a very low Veneto farmhouse baseline of €291/m², this is far above ordinary stock; the lake/mountain second-home setting adds some appeal, but not enough to offset the pricing.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine rustic charm: warm timber ceilings, stone details, a fireplace and an attractive little habitable outbuilding give it real personality. Crucially, it is not a shell — both buildings look finished, furnished and usable now, though small and somewhat dated. It feels more like a cosy mountain-weekend refuge than a full dream showpiece, but for the price it has solid live-in appeal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Very compact spaces across two separate buildings.
- Bathrooms and finishes are dated/simple rather than polished.
- No meaningful private outdoor living area is shown.
- No real scenic view is proven in the photos.
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.
