What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000, even allowing roughly €200/m² for unreported updates, the effective cost is about €967/m² versus a local benchmark of €311/m². The house has useful extras—heating, cellar, garage and private outdoor space—but its condition and energy performance are not stated, and it is not in a high-value coastal or tourist setting.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable three-level farmhouse with a working kitchen, bathroom, heating, two bedrooms and private outdoor space. It has modest historic appeal in the exposed beams, traditional rooflines and stone outbuilding, plus a real mountain glimpse, but the interiors are dated and the surroundings are ordinary rather than spectacular.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Interiors are functional but dated, with an older kitchen, bathroom, fixtures and furnishings.
- The upper mansard room and separate two-level storage building may need checks for insulation, dampness and permitted use.
- Outdoor space is private but modest and partly rough/paved rather than a landscaped garden.
- The setting is a regular residential village, not a secluded countryside property.
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 sits on the eastern Veronese hills at the foot of the Lessini, with low volcanic hills and vineyards around Roncà and Monte Calvarina. The Alpone valley runs nearby, and the area is part of the Soave and eastern Valpolicella wine country rather than a major protected landscape. The nearest larger towns are San Bonifacio and Montecchia di Crosara for daily services, while Verona is the main city for higher-level services and monuments. This area is known for vineyards, olive groves, and volcanic soils used for Soave wine production.
