What it really costs
- On the market for a long time
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 (€390/m²), this 177 m² early-1900s stone house needs substantial renovation; estimated all-in cost is about €264,000, or €1,490/m², versus roughly €353/m² for comparable local homes. The listing has been active for 831 days, and the description says the property requires renovation, with the additional storage buildings adding limited residential value.
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€70,000 – €104,000
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 70/100The cluster sits in the Alpago basin at the southern foothills of the Dolomites. Lago di Santa Croce (Lake Santa Croce) lies within the municipality and within a few kilometres of most settlements. There are mixed woodlands, pastures and small agricultural plots around the lake and on the lower slopes. No large ski resorts or lifts are within roughly 15 km; the nearest established downhill ski areas are on the higher Dolomite ranges north of Belluno. The nearest larger town is Belluno (provincial capital), about 25–30 km away, with regional transport links and full services. The area is known locally for wind- and kitesurfing, small-boat recreation on Lake Santa Croce and for outdoor walking and mountain-basin landscapes.
