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 €69,000 for 137 sqm, the asking price is €504/sqm; with a realistic renovation budget of about €700/sqm for a house needing works (single glazing, pellet stove only, some renovation needed), the effective cost is about €1,204/sqm. That is far above the local stock baseline of €377/sqm, so despite the decent size and usable layout this looks weak on price rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable townhouse rather than a shell, with decent space, two baths and a small terrace/veranda. But the look is very ordinary: no notable views, little historic charm, and interiors are dated and somewhat dark, so the dream factor is modest despite the low price.
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€27,000 – €48,000
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.

The area around
Location score 72/100The cluster sits at the foot of the Friulian Prealps, with the mountains rising immediately north around the Val Colvera and the approach to the Valcellina area. The Meduna river runs a few kilometres west, and the gorge and reservoirs of the Valcellina are within this radius. Part of the surrounding mountain area falls in the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park, and the Friulian Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage area begins not far to the north-west. The nearest substantial town is Maniago, which has everyday services, an old centre and is known for knife-making. This part of western Friuli is known for its prealpine valleys, stone villages and access to walking and climbing terrain in the foothills.
