What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 100 sqm, the ask is €950/sqm; with a likely renovation cost of about €700/sqm from 'da ristrutturare', the effective cost is roughly €1,650/sqm. That is far above the local baseline of €389/sqm, so despite the independent house with garden and central location, this looks only a fair deal.
More on the house and the area
From the single photo, this looks like a usable but very dated home rather than a dream-house scroll stopper. The bathroom appears intact and functional, which suggests it is more than a bare shell, but the listing explicitly says it needs renovation. At this price for a detached-ish house with garden, there is some value appeal, but the wow factor is limited by the lack of proven beauty and the clear need for updating.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- Only one photo, so exterior appeal and setting are unproven
- Description says the property is to be renovated
- Bathroom shown is dated and likely needs modernization
- No view or standout character is visible from the available photo
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 43/100This is the flat lower plain east of Verona, with farmland, irrigation canals and the Adige river corridor nearby. The Adige passes close to the area and shapes the local landscape more than any hill or mountain feature. Verona is the nearest city of size, with a full range of services and a major historic centre. Soave lies within the wider local area, with its walled hill town and castle, but the cluster itself sits out in the plain rather than in the vineyard hills. The area is known for mixed agriculture, especially vineyards and fruit growing across the Veronese plain.
