What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description says 'completely to renovate', so at about €1,100/m² renovation the effective cost is roughly €4,767/m² (€55,000/15 m² + works), versus a very low baseline of €296/m² for Veneto farmhouses. The facts are internally weak: 15 m² conflicts with the text mentioning an 'ampio ambiente di circa 60 mq', and the listing lacks basic habitability details (0 rooms, 0 baths).
More on the house and the area
There is some rustic charm in the old stone walls and exposed timber roof, but the setting and exterior are fairly ordinary. This is currently a bare, unfitted shell with visible damp and no habitable rooms, so it feels like a project rather than a home.
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€6,000 – €9,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated; currently an empty raw shell.
- No bathroom or kitchen is shown, so it is not presently livable.
- Signs of damp and cracked/unfinished walls are visible.
- Tiny stated size/facts look inconsistent with the photos, so layout and legality should be checked.
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.
