See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 (€286/m²), the initial price looks low, but a full renovation estimated at about €700/m² brings the effective cost to roughly €986/m²—well above the local €402/m² benchmark. The panoramic setting and road access help, but the extensive works and rural location weaken the deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious traditional rustico with attractive old patterned floors, exposed beams, a stone fireplace, and generous covered outdoor space. It is not a ready-to-live-in dream home: the interiors are functional but dated, with moisture damage and significant renovation required, while the panoramic setting is only modestly evident in the photos.
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€41,000 – €72,000
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.

- Substantial renovation is needed, including damp/peeling walls and a very dated kitchen and bathroom.
- The large covered outdoor area has visibly aged roofing and may require structural or material checks.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 206 sqm home; utilities and heating condition should be verified.
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 62/100The cluster is in the Berici Hills, a low limestone hill area of woods, vineyards and cultivated slopes south of Vicenza. The area is crossed by small valleys and streams rather than a major river. The nearest city of size is Vicenza, which has full services and a substantial historic centre including Palladian buildings recognised by UNESCO. This part of the Berici is known for vineyards, olive growing and walled villas and hamlets scattered through the hills.
