What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €57,000 for 75 sqm, the asking price is €760/sqm; with a likely renovation budget of about €700/sqm for a multi-level rustico, the effective cost is roughly €1,460/sqm. That is far above this catalog baseline of €297/sqm in Veneto farmhouses, so despite the independent layout and terrace/courtyard appeal, it looks weak on price.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable small home, not a shell: tiled, roofed, furnished, with two bathrooms, a fireplace room and a very usable terrace. The best wow comes from the sunny balcony/terrace and the green hillside village setting rather than from historic interior character. At €57k it feels charming and realistic, with cosmetic updating rather than major renovation needed.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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 clean and usable but fairly plain and dated.
- Only one bedroom and compact overall layout.
- Courtyard setting means limited privacy and no big standalone garden.
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 68/100The cluster lies in the eastern Lessini, with low Prealpine ridges and wooded valleys around San Giovanni Ilarione. The Alpone valley is the main local valley system here, and the area is known for old volcanic terrain and fossil sites around Bolca in the same part of the Lessini. The nearest larger town is San Bonifacio, which has the usual rail and road services on the Verona–Vicenza corridor. Verona is the nearest major city for higher-level services and airport access.
