What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €88,000 for 210 sqm, the asking price is only €419/sqm, but for a rustic farmhouse with no stated habitable/renovated condition a realistic renovation allowance is about €700/sqm, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,119/sqm. That is far above this catalog baseline of €297/sqm for Veneto farmhouses, so despite the large independent house, private land and decent photo set, it looks only fair rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely atmospheric stone-and-plaster farmhouse with rustic beams, simple old-world rooms, and lovely mountain-valley surroundings. Crucially, it looks like a real usable home rather than a shell: there are floors, kitchen spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms already in place. It still needs cosmetic upgrading and tidying, but the beauty and livability are both clearly there.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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 habitable but dated and unevenly finished.
- Some rooms show basic lighting and patchy walls, so expect refreshing works.
- The setting feels rural/hillside, which may mean less convenience and steeper access.
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 60/100The cluster is at the foot of the Pasubio and Piccole Dolomiti groups, with pre-Alpine ridges closing the northern horizon and valleys leading up toward Valli del Pasubio and Recoaro. The Leogra valley is the local river valley landscape around Schio. The nearest ski area is Recoaro Mille, roughly 30–40 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Schio is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, services, industry and rail connections toward Vicenza. The area is known for its wool and textile history and for the mountain front of the Venetian Prealps immediately above the plain.
