What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description suggests a livable village house with modern comforts, so I estimate light work at about €200/m²; that brings the effective cost to roughly €815/m² (€80,000 + renovation over 130 m²). Against a very low Veneto farmhouse baseline of €294/m² from your sub-€100k stock, this sits far above baseline, so it looks more ordinary-to-pricey than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This feels like a real, livable country house with character: exposed beams, a big fireplace, rustic ceilings and a warm farmhouse atmosphere. The condition is broadly habitable with kitchen, bath, bedrooms and major ancillary spaces already in use, but finishes are inconsistent and a few areas show cosmetic wear and possible damp. Good value for the size and usable outbuildings, though the exterior setting is pleasant rather than truly spectacular.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Some rooms feel cluttered and unevenly finished.
- Visible damp/peeling patches in at least one bedroom.
- Outdoor spaces are usable but not especially polished.
- No proven panoramic view from the photos.
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 72/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Venetian Prealps, with the Altopiano di Asiago rising immediately to the north and northwest and wooded slopes and limestone ridges closing the upper Astico valley. The Astico river runs through this area. The northern edge of the province here links into the Prealpine mountain landscape associated with the Plateau of the Seven Municipalities, and roads climb quickly from the valley floor toward mountain villages and high pastures. The nearest substantial town is Schio, which has full services, industry, and a larger historic centre. This part of the Vicenza foothills is known for its First World War mountain front and for hiking and cycling routes on the Asiago plateau.
