What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 for 117 sqm, the ask is €470/sqm; described as habitable with 1980s renovation, I estimate about €200/sqm in refresh costs, for an effective €670/sqm. That is well above the local baseline of €377/sqm, so despite being livable and furnished, it looks only a fair deal; the mountain village setting adds charm but not enough to offset the pricing.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a solid, full house in a peaceful Alpine village, with mountain scenery adding real appeal. The listing says it is immediately habitable, furnished, and heated, which keeps it above project territory, but the photos only show a very plain exterior with no proven interior charm. Good value for a usable mountain base rather than a true dream-home scroll stopper.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Only exterior photos are shown, so interior character and finish can't be verified.
- Facade is very plain and slightly weathered, with limited curb appeal.
- Likely dated 1980s interiors despite being described as habitable.
- Outdoor space appears modest: common courtyard plus a small private vegetable patch.
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 90/100The cluster is in the Dolomites, at the upper end of the Val Cellina beneath the Monfalconi and Cridola groups. The Cellina river runs through the valley and the area is part of the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park. Cimolais is one of the access points to the park, which is known for high limestone walls, narrow valleys and mountain huts reached on foot. The nearest substantial town is Maniago, which has the main services for the valley. Pordenone is farther away on the plain. The area is known for mountaineering and hiking in the Friulian Dolomites, a UNESCO-listed Dolomite system.
