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 €70,000 for 337 sqm the ask is only €208/sqm versus a €294/sqm baseline, but the listing explicitly says a complete renovation is needed, so the effective cost is about €1,308/sqm after ~€1,100/sqm works. The huge size and flexibility add some value, but the ad uses illustrative images rather than real photos, which weakens confidence.
More on the house and the area
There is some real appeal here in the mountain backdrop, big size for the price, and hints of old-world character. But this is not a ready-to-love home: the actual property is a large house needing full renovation, and the prettiest rustic/interior images appear to be marketing mood shots rather than the real current condition. As a dream-to-live-in property today, it lands as more project than wow.
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€133,000 – €197,000
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.
- Listing states the photos are illustrative, so interior charm shown may not be the actual house.
- Complete renovation is required before comfortable living.
- Exterior appears weathered and some openings/finishes look neglected.
- Mountain setting is pleasant, but the house sits on a road in a plain residential context.
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 60/100The cluster is at the foot of the Pasubio and Piccole Dolomiti groups, with pre-Alpine ridges closing the northern horizon and valleys leading up toward Valli del Pasubio and Recoaro. The Leogra valley is the local river valley landscape around Schio. The nearest ski area is Recoaro Mille, roughly 30–40 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Schio is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, services, industry and rail connections toward Vicenza. The area is known for its wool and textile history and for the mountain front of the Venetian Prealps immediately above the plain.
