What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 for 70 sqm, the ask is about €714/sqm; assuming roughly €200/sqm for a habitable/perfect-state home, the effective cost is about €914/sqm. That is far above this catalog baseline for Veneto farmhouses (€296/sqm), so despite the attractive presentation and 14 photos, it looks expensive for this sub-€100k stock.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, characterful home with strong rustic appeal: exposed stone, heavy timber ceilings, brick arches, a big fireplace and warm wood floors upstairs. Condition looks solid and move-in ready, not a shell, though the kitchen and bathroom are fairly simple and a bit dated. The dream factor comes from the cozy farmhouse atmosphere and hillside nature setting rather than from proven views or a showpiece exterior.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- No exterior or view photos, so the setting appeal is not proven.
- Interiors are rustic rather than refined, with some dated finishes in kitchen and bathroom.
- Looks more like a compact hill retreat/second home than a spacious full-time family house.
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 68/100The cluster sits at the foot of the Prealps, with Monte Summano and the first ridges of the Pasubio-Little Dolomites area within this radius. The Astico valley is the main local landform here, with the Astico river running north-south through the area. Thiene is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections. Schio is also nearby and is the main gateway town toward the upper valleys below Pasubio. This part of the Vicenza foothills is known for mixed farming on the plain edge and for access into the prealpine valleys of Alto Vicentino.
