What it really costs
Can you move in?
A project, not a home yet
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The unfinished farmhouse costs €78,000, and completing roughly 220 m² at an estimated €1,100/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,455/m², far above the €310/m² local comparison level. The listing is also inconsistent about size (about 180 m² in the description versus 220 m² in the facts) and does not clarify planning or residential-use status.
More on the house and the area
There is real charm in the old masonry courtyard, enclosed garden, and historic village setting, with 220 sqm offering substantial potential. However, this is currently a bare rustico shell rather than a usable house, so the visual dream depends entirely on a major renovation.
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€87,000 – €129,000
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.
- The property is explicitly sold in a raw, unfinished state, not as a livable home.
- No usable interior, kitchen, or bathroom is shown; substantial renovation and systems installation will be needed.
- The polished facade images appear to be renderings or a finished-project concept, not the current condition.
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.
