What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 for 132 sqm, the house is €417/sqm; with a needs-renovation estimate of about €700/sqm, effective cost is roughly €1,117/sqm, far above the local baseline of €406/sqm. Positives are the recently redone roof and 46 photos, but the package includes a separate agricultural plot and a C2 tool-shed/outbuilding that add complexity without making the dwelling itself especially cheap.
More on the house and the area
This has real old-house character in the timber ceilings, worn plank floors and simple village facade, plus a very low entry price for the size. The key positive is that it is a roofed, standing house with kitchen and bathroom already in place, not a shell. But the livability is only partial today: systems need redoing and several rooms need substantial refreshing before it feels like a comfortable home.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.

The area around
Location score 67/100The cluster is in the upper Agno valley at the foot of the Piccole Dolomiti, with Prealpine slopes and ridgelines closing the valley on both sides. The Agno river runs through Valdagno. The nearest mountain landscape is the chain above Recoaro Terme and the Passo delle Piccole Dolomiti area, about 10 to 15 km away, with the small ski area of Recoaro Mille roughly a 30 minute drive. Vicenza is the nearest larger city, with rail services, a full range of shops and hospitals, and Palladian monuments including the UNESCO city centre and villas in the wider province. The area is known for its valley industry around wool textiles and for access to the southern Vicentine Prealps.
