The €29,000 asking price looks low at €218/m², but the partially collapsed roof makes this a major structural restoration; estimated all-in cost rises to about €1,318/m², far above comparable local pricing. The 1,390 m² plot and garage add value, but only two photos make the condition harder to verify.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, very inexpensive rural house with an unusually substantial 1,390 sqm parcel, which gives it some potential appeal. However, the partially collapsed roof and visibly neglected exterior make it currently uninhabitable or close to it, so the land and low price do not translate into an immediately livable Italian home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€53,000 – €78,000
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.

- Part of the roof has collapsed, making this a major renovation project rather than a move-in home.
- The exterior appears neglected, and the photos do not confirm interior condition, utilities, or structural safety.
- The property is roadside and surrounded by agricultural buildings rather than a scenic village or distinctive landscape.
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 35/100The area is the flat southern Veronese plain between the Adige and the lower Vicenza-Padua countryside, with fields, irrigation canals and small market towns. The nearest larger towns are Lonigo, San Bonifacio and Legnago for daily services, while Verona and Vicenza are farther off for a wider range of shops and transport. This part of Veneto is known more for agriculture and for small-town food traditions than for a named landscape feature.
