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 €20,000 for 191 sqm, the ask is just €105/sqm, but in 'needs renovation' condition the estimated effective cost is about €805/sqm including works (€700/sqm), well above the local sub-€100k baseline of €405/sqm. Panoramic mountain setting and good photo count help, but this looks weak on numbers unless renovation can be done far below a normal budget.
More on the house and the area
The setting is the main appeal: a quiet rural lane with mountain and valley outlooks, plus some rustic stone-and-timber character in the upper levels. But this is not a ready home: the interiors are worn, damp and partly semi-derelict, with attic/roof areas in poor condition, so it feels more like a serious renovation project than a usable dream house 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€38,000 – €67,000
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 72/100The Piccole Dolomiti and the Pasubio massif rise directly above the area, with Monte Pasubio and the Sengio Alto group within the local mountain ring. The Leogra valley runs through the comune, and the upper valley is tied to the road and military landscape of the Strada delle 52 Gallerie on Monte Pasubio. Part of the local mountain area falls within the Parco Naturale Regionale della Lessinia to the south-western side of the wider zone. The nearest substantial town is Schio, which has the main services, rail access and a larger historic and industrial centre in the valley. The area is known for First World War mountain sites and for hiking in the Pasubio group.
