What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 for 350 sqm, the asking price is about €280/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €322/sqm, so the raw ask is slightly below ordinary. But the description highlights an early-1900s house with 'possibilità di personalizzazione' rather than a finished home, so I assume about €700/sqm renovation; that makes the effective cost roughly €980/sqm, keeping it a spacious but only moderately attractive project.
More on the house and the area
The mountain setting is genuinely dreamy, with big Dolomite views and a classic alpine village position. Inside, there is real old-house character in the timber paneling, floors and period rooms, but the house looks dark, tired and only partly usable without significant modernization. It is a large, solid historic home rather than a ruin, yet it feels like a substantial restoration project to become a truly comfortable home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€69,000 – €123,000
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.
- Needs major interior updating before comfortable full-time use
- Exterior shows wear, damp/plaster damage at the base, and deferred maintenance
- Bathrooms/kitchen are not clearly shown as modern or ready to use
- Mountain location means snowy access and heating costs are real factors
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 78/100The Carnic Alps and the Dolomites frame this part of the upper Piave valley. The Piave rises nearby and runs through the Cadore valley system. The Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park is farther southwest and not inside the immediate 15 km landscape. The nearest ski area is Monte Elmo-Helm above Sesto, about 35–45 minutes by road; smaller local Nordic and winter facilities are closer in Comelico. Santo Stefano di Cadore is the nearest town of some size with everyday services, and Pieve di Cadore is the main larger centre in Cadore with shops and administration. This is the Cadore-Comelico area, known for alpine valleys, timber traditions and access toward the Sappada and Sesto Dolomite sectors.
