At €95,000 for about 230 m², the purchase price is €413/m², but the farmhouse is completely to renovate. Including an estimated €253,000 renovation cost, the effective price is roughly €1,513/m² versus a local reference of €310/m², making this a weak deal despite the 300 m² garden.
More on the house and the area
This large rustic farmhouse has genuine appeal in its old stone walls, terracotta roofs, and approximately 300 sqm of private garden. However, it is explicitly a complete renovation project, with visible roof deterioration and no usable interiors shown, so it is not yet a realistic home to live in.
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€91,000 – €135,000
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.
- Completely to renovate and not currently move-in ready.
- Visible roof damage and partially collapsed/open sections may require major structural work.
- No interior photos; bathroom, kitchen, utilities, and legal habitability are unconfirmed.
- The garden is overgrown and the property sits in a built-up roadside setting.
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 70/100The town sits on the Adige river in the Verona/Adige valley. The Lessini (Monti Lessini) foothills rise to the north and the Lessinia Regional Natural Park occupies the nearby uplands. The Valpolicella wine district is on the hills immediately north/west of the town and the area produces Valpolicella and Amarone wines. The surrounding lowland is agricultural, with vineyards and orchards on the foothills. Verona is the nearest city of size and provides mainline rail services (Verona Porta Nuova), cultural attractions including the Arena, and the regional airport (Verona Villafranca / Valerio Catullo) in the wider area. The historic centre of Verona is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
