What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 for 250 sqm the asking price is only €180/sqm versus a €273/sqm baseline, but the description says the whole building is 'totally to be renovated', so I estimate about €1,100/sqm of works. That brings the effective cost to roughly €1,280/sqm, which is far above the local low-price stock baseline; central location and full-building flexibility help, but this is mainly a heavy renovation/project play rather than a cheap livable buy.
More on the house and the area
There is some authentic old character in the masonry, fireplace and arched passage, plus an open rooftop view toward the hills. But this is currently a stripped, rough shell rather than a usable home, with clear safety and renovation issues visible throughout. At €45k for 250 sqm it has development appeal, more for investors than dream-home buyers today.
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€99,000 – €146,000
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.

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 52/100The cluster sits on the northwestern Vicenza plain at the foot of the Vicentine Prealps, with Monte Pasubio and the upper Leogra-Astico mountain belt forming the nearby horizon. The nearest substantial town is Schio, which has full everyday services and rail links, and Vicenza is the main city for higher-level services. This part of the province is known for a mix of small industry and farming on the plain, with the prealpine valleys beginning a short drive to the north.
