What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €20,000 for 300 sqm, the asking price is only €67/sqm, but the description says it needs a complete renovation, so I estimate about €1,100/sqm in works, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,167/sqm. The local baseline is very weak, so the score relies on absolute plausibility rather than market comparison: very cheap entry price, but a huge full-restoration project in a remote mountain location.
More on the house and the area
The mountain hamlet setting has real charm: stone walls, old wooden balconies and a lovely green valley backdrop give it strong romantic appeal. But this is clearly a rustico for full renovation rather than a ready home, with no usable interiors shown and several exterior elements looking very tired. At €20k for 300 sqm with some garden, the price creates a big dream-project effect, but not yet a livable house.
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€119,000 – €176,000
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.
- complete renovation needed
- photos do not show habitable interiors
- weathered balconies/wood elements may need structural work
- mountain hamlet setting may mean limited access/services
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 69/100The cluster is in the Terragnolo valley on the south side of the Trentino pre-Alps, with steep wooded slopes and scattered hamlets below the Pasubio group. The Leno di Terragnolo stream runs through the valley and Rovereto is the nearest town of size, with a full range of services, a railway station and museums. The Pasubio area, with mountain roads and First World War sites around the Pian delle Fugazze side, lies within this mountain setting. The area is known for its small contrade and chestnut-and-forest valley landscape rather than for a major lake or monument.
