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 €80,000 for 370 sqm, the ask is just €216/sqm versus a low-stock baseline median of €402/sqm in Veneto villas, but the property is explicitly only partly habitable and partly in full renovation. Using about €700/sqm renovation, the effective cost is roughly €916/sqm, so the low entry price is offset by major works; still, the size, independence, land and 18 photos make it a solid renovation project rather than a bargain trap.
More on the house and the area
This is a big independent villa with some mountain/green outlooks and enough land to feel private, which gives it real lifestyle potential for the price. The key reality is that only one section looks basically usable now, while a substantial second part is in rough, renovation-grade condition. Dream value comes more from space, privacy and bargain potential than from beauty or finished charm today.
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€73,000 – €130,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Only part of the villa appears currently habitable; another large portion needs full renovation.
- Some visible damp/mold and worn finishes, especially in bathroom and service areas.
- Unrenovated sections are cluttered and rough, so the true condition/cost may be significant.
- Interior style is plain and dated rather than inherently characterful.
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 68/100The cluster sits at the foot of the Prealps, with Monte Summano and the first ridges of the Pasubio-Little Dolomites area within this radius. The Astico valley is the main local landform here, with the Astico river running north-south through the area. Thiene is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections. Schio is also nearby and is the main gateway town toward the upper valleys below Pasubio. This part of the Vicenza foothills is known for mixed farming on the plain edge and for access into the prealpine valleys of Alto Vicentino.
