What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing explicitly says 'stalla' and describes it as a rural building for agricultural use, livestock or storage, so it is not a normal dwelling candidate and triggers a veto. Even though the ask is €45,000 (€395/m²) versus a €296/m² baseline, that comparison is not meaningful for a non-habitable agricultural building.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely lovely: a tiny mountain hamlet in green Lessinia countryside with broad hill and mountain views. But the building shown is essentially a rural barn/stable with raw stone interiors, not a usable home today. Dreamy location, project-grade property.
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.
- Not currently a home: shown as stable/hayloft, with no habitable interior.
- Full conversion/renovation would be needed, including kitchen, bathroom and services.
- Roofing and outbuildings look patched and rustic rather than residential-finished.
- Potential planning/change-of-use limits likely for a rural building.
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.
