Although priced at €80,000 (€261/m²), the property is currently registered as C/2 storage space rather than a dwelling, so its residential use and conversion eligibility must be legally verified. The proposed adaptation into homes or a B&B is not a guaranteed right, and major renovation would be required.
More on the house and the area
A photogenic historic farmhouse surrounded by exceptionally beautiful Veneto vineyards, with broad rural views and substantial space. However, it is a C/2 property needing renovation, and the photos do not prove finished residential interiors, so this is an ambitious conversion project rather than a move-in 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€121,000 – €179,000
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.

- Needs substantial renovation; interior livability is not demonstrated by the photos.
- Currently registered as C/2 rather than residential, so residential conversion and permits must be verified.
- The property appears to include large work/storage areas, not simply a ready-made farmhouse home.
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
