What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 45 sqm, the ask is €1,333/sqm; with a partial-renovation estimate of about €400/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,733/sqm. That is far above the low-stock Veneto baseline of €297/sqm, and while the central location and 21 photos are positives, the numbers still look weak for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
The arched corte facade has real old-house character, and the rebuilt timber ceilings and loft with exposed roof structure add charm. But this is still a mid-renovation house rather than a ready home: floors and structure are in, yet kitchen, bathroom and finishes are not completed. At €60k it feels appealing as a character project, not a move-in dream 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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €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.
- Partially renovated and still unfinished inside.
- No completed kitchen or bathroom visible yet.
- Some raw masonry/plaster and utility works remain.
- Street-facing setting with no view or outdoor space shown.
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 58/100The cluster lies in the western Vicenza plain at the foot of the Lessini and Berici hill country, with low vineyard-covered hills close by and the broad farmed plain of the Agno-Guà and Chiampo valleys around it. The nearest larger town is Vicenza, which has a substantial historic centre and Palladian monuments including UNESCO-listed sites in the city and nearby villas. This part of western Vicenza is known for vineyards and wine production, especially Gambellara and the Soave area just to the south-east.
