What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €48,000 (€444/m²), estimated renovation at €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,144/m², far above comparable local homes around €377/m². Proximity to the lake, garage and fireplace add appeal, but the listing says restoration work is needed.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable three-level home with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fireplace, balconies, garage and cellar—not an empty renovation shell. Its strongest appeal is the dramatic mountain setting, with broad views over the surrounding valley and green countryside. The house needs updating, but it could plausibly serve as either a full-time residence or an immediately usable mountain base.
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€21,000 – €38,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The interiors are dated and need cosmetic restoration, including wall repairs and modernization.
- The bathrooms and kitchen are functional but basic and old-fashioned.
- Exterior spaces and the garage appear practical rather than polished; verify which garden areas are included.
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 74/100The cluster sits in Carnia, with the Carnic Alps and the Friulian Dolomites close around the valley system. The Tagliamento runs through Tolmezzo, and the upper Tagliamento valley is the main landscape feature here. The area is close to the Carnic Prealps Natural Park. Mount Zoncolan and the Ravascletto/Sutrio ski lifts are roughly 25–35 minutes away by road. Tolmezzo is the main town of Carnia and has the district services, shops and a working historic centre. Nearby Venzone is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia and is known for its medieval walls, though it sits just beyond the 15 km radius. The area is known for Alpine valleys, forestry, mountain pastures and Carnic food traditions.
