See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000, estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,008/m² versus a local median of €353/m²; the roof was recently redone, but the house lacks a bathroom and needs major works. The listing has been online for 1,050 days and the description states €45,000 rather than €40,000, so the apparent discount is not compelling.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
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 75/100The cluster sits in the upper valleys of the Belluno province within the Dolomite mountain system. The Dolomites are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Dolomitic peaks and ridges lie within the local 15 km landscape. The immediate surroundings are steep alpine valleys, forested slopes, pastures and mountain roads. Ski facilities serving the Civetta/Alleghe massif and the Agordino valleys are the nearest downhill-ski areas. The nearest larger settlements for services are towns in the Agordino/Belluno area, with the provincial capital Belluno the main regional centre. The area is served by mountain tourism infrastructure (hiking and climbing routes in summer, ski lifts and winter sport facilities seasonally) and by forestry and mountain agriculture in the valleys.
