What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €39,000 for 216 sqm the asking price is only €181/sqm, but the house is explicitly 'da ristrutturare integralmente', so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,281/sqm. The local baseline is weak, so relying mostly on absolute plausibility, this looks cheap to buy but not especially compelling once full restoration is included, despite the central location near services.
More on the house and the area
It has a pleasant old farmhouse presence, lots of greenery, and a surprisingly large size for the price. But the listing explicitly says it requires complete renovation, and the photos do not show a ready, usable home. This is more a budget project with some charm than an immediate Italian dream-home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€85,000 – €126,000
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.
- Needs full renovation throughout
- No interior photos, so livability is unproven
- Exterior shows weathering/damp staining
- Outdoor space looks small and overgrown
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 67/100The Cansiglio and the first Belluno Prealps rise just north of Cordignano, with wooded slopes and the Cansiglio forest within about 10–15 km. The Meschio valley begins in this area and links the plain to Vittorio Veneto, which is the nearest larger town and has a substantial historic centre, rail connections and everyday services. The landscape around the houses is a transition from the Veneto plain to the foothills, with vineyards and mixed farmland below the ridge line. Conegliano, known for the Prosecco area, is a short drive to the southwest, but the core setting here is the foothill belt rather than the main UNESCO vineyard zone.
