See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €22,000 plus an estimated €112,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €838/m², far above the local €310/m² reference. The solid structure, good roof and 20 photos are positives, but the property has been listed for 621 days and its remote location reduces the appeal.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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.

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 78/100The cluster is in the Valbelluna, with the Belluno Dolomites and the pre-Alpine ridges of the Alpago and Nevegal visible around the valley system. The Piave runs through this part of the valley, and the Cordevole joins it near Sedico. The Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park begins within this area on the southern side of the Belluno basin, with access from the valleys around Sospirolo and the Mis area. The nearest town of size is Belluno, which has a historic centre and the main services for the province. This part of the province is known for a broad inhabited valley floor set between mountain groups, with smaller historic villages and woods on the lower slopes.
