What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovation- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The 130 m² property is currently registered as a magazzino (storage building), so residential legality depends on an unconfirmed change of use despite the advertised possibility. At €538/m² before an estimated €700/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €1,238/m², versus a €310/m² Veneto baseline.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, bright, roofed 130-square-metre structure with a private courtyard and garage-like lower level, but it has little historic or visual character. The bare rooms appear more like a finished shell or warehouse than a usable home, and substantial conversion and interior work would be needed before living there.
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.

- Currently registered as a warehouse, not a residence; change of use is required.
- No kitchen or finished bathroom is shown, so it is not move-in ready.
- The interiors are bare and utilitarian, with visible finishing and installation work still needed.
- The exterior wall shows cracking that should be checked professionally.
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 58/100The area sits on the eastern edge of the Veronese plain where vineyards and cultivated low hills begin at the foot of the Lessini. The nearest named range is the Monti Lessini to the north, with higher mountain scenery outside the immediate radius. The Alpone valley opens nearby, and Verona is the nearest city of size, with a major historic centre, rail connections and services. This part of eastern Verona province is known for wine production, especially Soave and the vineyard landscape around it.
