What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €73,000 (€465/m²), the price is already above the local €403/m² reference, while unfinished systems and a partly habitable attic suggest roughly €300/m² of remaining work, bringing the effective cost near €764/m². The roof, windows and major structural work are positives, but 381 days on the market and the remote woodland setting weaken the deal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €26,000
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.
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 73/100The cluster lies in the Belluno foothills at the edge of the Belluno Dolomites, with the Piave valley as the main landscape element in the area. The Belluno Dolomites National Park is within this radius on the western and northwestern side of the valley. Belluno is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre, services and rail connections. The nearest substantial ski areas are on Nevegal above Belluno and farther into the Dolomite valleys, so they are a drive rather than lifts from the village. This part of Valbelluna is known for the Piave corridor, prealpine woods and pasture, and for villages spread between the valley floor and the lower mountain slopes.
