See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is explicitly a 'stalla' / rural outbuilding intended for agricultural use, livestock or storage, so it is not presented as a legal dwelling. Even though the ask is €395/m², this is vetoed by use category rather than price.
More on the house and the area
The setting is lovely: a tiny mountain contrada with open green hills and real panoramic views across Lessinia. The building has authentic rural stone character, but the photos show a raw stable-like interior rather than a usable home. It feels more like a conversion project than a place you could comfortably live in now.
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€45,000 – €67,000
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.
- This is a former stable/rural building, not shown as a finished home.
- No bathroom or kitchen is visible, so livability is currently very limited.
- Likely needs major conversion/renovation despite the roofed structure.
- Rusty agricultural roofs and outbuildings reduce immediate charm.
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 72/100The cluster is on the Lessinia plateau in the Venetian Prealps. The Parco Naturale Regionale della Lessinia lies in this area. The nearest ski slopes are the small lifts of the Lessinia area around San Giorgio, roughly 20–30 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Verona is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail links and a major historic centre. This part of Lessinia is known for high pasture, woods, stone hamlets and the traditional cimbrian settlements of the Veronese mountains.
