This is explicitly an auction listing ("asta immobiliare"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog and forces a trap-level score. The ask is €53,776 for 173 sqm (€311/sqm) versus a €371/sqm baseline, but the auction status outweighs the apparent discount; the semi-finished areas also suggest roughly €300/sqm in additional works.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, substantial village house with garage and a basically usable structure, but the photos show little real beauty or lifestyle appeal. Interiors look functional rather than charming, and parts of the upper floor/attic are still semi-finished, so it feels more like a practical project than a dream Italian home. The low price helps, but the wow factor is limited.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- Auction sale and currently occupied by the debtor
- One bedroom is semi-finished and the attic is unfinished
- No bathroom photos shown despite listing two WCs
- Exterior/courtyard areas look cramped and untidy
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 88/100The Dolomites are the landscape here, with the Monte Antelao group above the Cadore basin and the Marmarole and Sorapiss groups within the surrounding valleys. The Piave runs through Cadore, and Centro Cadore lake lies nearby. The Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park is not in the immediate basin, but the area is within the wider Cadore mountain system. The nearest ski lifts are at San Vito di Cadore and Cortina d’Ampezzo, roughly 20–35 minutes by road depending on the lift. Belluno is the nearest provincial town of size, while Cortina is the main nearby mountain centre with services and tourism infrastructure. Pieve di Cadore is known as the birthplace of Titian, and Cadore is known for alpine valleys, conifer forests and historic links to timber and mountain crafts.
