In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €67,000 (€705/m²), this habitable 95 m² townhouse is priced well above the €402/m² local benchmark; allowing about €250/m² for modernization brings the effective cost to roughly €955/m². The private garden, mountain setting, fireplace and independent access add appeal, but the premium is substantial for a home needing updates.
More on the house and the area
A charming Dolomites townhouse with traditional timber balconies, a private garden, and an exceptional mountain panorama from the terrace. The house is genuinely livable, with furnished kitchen, bathroom, three bedrooms, tiled living space, and solid maintained interiors, though the decor and bathroom are dated. At €67,000, the combination of dramatic scenery, usable space, and private outdoor area is unusually compelling.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€8,000 – €13,000
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 interiors are habitable but dated and would benefit from modernization.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a three-bedroom, three-level home.
- The property sits directly beside a road, so outdoor privacy and traffic noise may be considerations.
- Heating relies on wood/pellet stoves rather than a clearly visible central system.
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 82/100Rivamonte Agordino is in the Agordino area of Belluno province (Veneto), inside the Dolomites (Dolomiti) sector of the eastern Alps. The immediate surroundings are mountainous: Dolomite massifs and ridges lie within the local 15 km radius. Nearest winter-ski infrastructure is around the Alleghe/Civetta area (Civetta ski lifts), reached by road at roughly 15–25 km. The nearest market town is Agordo, which offers shops, basic services and local administration; the provincial capital Belluno is the nearest larger town with a railway station and broader services (some tens of kilometres away). Land use in the area includes alpine pastures, forestry and small-scale agriculture. The Agordino area is associated with mountain tourism and local manufacturing, and Agordo is the historical base of the eyewear firm Luxottica. Parts of the province are within the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and the wider Dolomite mountain system.
