What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 346 m², substantial renovation at roughly €700/m² puts the effective cost near €960/m², far above the €310/m² local benchmark. The description is also inconsistent about the building and land areas, so verify the cadastral surfaces, buildability, and renovation permissions carefully.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, characterful rural farmhouse with an old tiled roof, traditional masonry, an attached agricultural barn, and substantial surrounding land. However, it is explicitly a rustico to renovate, with neglected grounds and no interior photos proving a usable kitchen, bathrooms, or finished living spaces. It offers strong project potential rather than an immediately dreamworthy home.
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€69,000 – €121,000
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 required; the interiors and their current livability are not shown.
- The property appears overgrown and may need roof, structural, utility, and access checks.
- The buildable-land designation and permitted redevelopment potential 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 40/100This is the upper Venetian plain between Vicenza and Cittadella, with flat agricultural land cut by irrigation channels and minor rivers of the Brenta basin. The Brenta runs nearby to the east around Fontaniva and Grantorto. Vicenza is the nearest city of size, with Palladian monuments including the UNESCO city centre and the villas in the surrounding territory. The area is known for intensive farming and for villas and village settlements spread across the plain.
