What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 211 sqm, the ask is just €355/sqm, but with no clear condition stated I assume roughly habitable at about €200/sqm renovation, bringing effective cost to about €555/sqm. The local baseline is weak (only 7 comps) and its median is also €355/sqm, so this looks plausible value for a large house rather than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, large, usable home rather than a project shell, with 211 sqm, working kitchens/bathrooms, and some appealing character touches like the big fireplace and rustic details. The wow is moderate: the exterior is ordinary and the setting shown is not especially scenic, but the size and partial modern updates make it feel livable and good value.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Exterior is plain and courtyard-facing, with no proven scenic view.
- Interiors are mixed: some renovated rooms, others dated and a bit unfinished-looking.
- Outdoor space appears basic rather than beautifully landscaped.
- Likely best after cosmetic updating to unify finishes and style.
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 63/100The cluster sits in the Friulian foothills below the Carnic Prealps. The Tagliamento river corridor is nearby, and the hill country of San Daniele del Friuli is within this same local area. Gemona del Friuli is the nearest larger centre, with a substantial historic core and rail links, and Udine is the main city for services beyond the immediate area. This part of Friuli is known for the transition from plain to mountain, for earthquake-rebuilt towns, and for San Daniele ham production in the surrounding hill belt.
