Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €47,000 asking price is attractive, but this early-1900s three-storey property appears to need substantial work: at an estimated €700/m², the effective cost is about €169,000, or €970/m², versus a €403/m² local benchmark. The listing does not say whether the house is currently habitable, and the large adjoining storage area may add limited residential value.
More on the house and the area
A characterful early-1900s Veneto townhouse with original timber floors, shutters, exposed stone, a traditional staircase and a large attic. The main living spaces look solid and habitable, with a functioning bathroom and furnished bedrooms, but the rough adjoining storage areas and aging roof reduce the overall wow factor. The generous 174 sqm and garden at €47,000 make it an appealing restoration-light bargain, though not a polished 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.
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€34,000 – €61,000
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.
- The main house appears usable, but the adjoining barns and roof structures are visibly aged and may require substantial work.
- There are signs of damp, cracking and weathering; the kitchen is not clearly shown in the gallery.
- The house fronts a shared courtyard and lies directly beside a narrow road, rather than offering a private scenic setting.
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 73/100The cluster lies in the Belluno foothills at the edge of the Belluno Dolomites, with the Piave valley as the main landscape element in the area. The Belluno Dolomites National Park is within this radius on the western and northwestern side of the valley. Belluno is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre, services and rail connections. The nearest substantial ski areas are on Nevegal above Belluno and farther into the Dolomite valleys, so they are a drive rather than lifts from the village. This part of Valbelluna is known for the Piave corridor, prealpine woods and pasture, and for villages spread between the valley floor and the lower mountain slopes.
