What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €73,000 (€549/m²), the 133 m² townhouse needs renovation; estimated works of about €93,100 bring the effective cost to roughly €1,249/m² versus the €405/m² Veneto townhouse baseline. Central location, garage, garden and an approved project add value, but they do not offset the heavy renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a sizable three-level townhouse with a sound-looking roof, many windows, heating and a garage, but the actual interiors are very worn and far from livable. The generic modern renderings suggest potential rather than present beauty, while the real photos show a plain urban property needing a complete renovation.
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 – €47,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is required: deteriorated walls, flooring, kitchen and bathrooms.
- The attractive interior images are generic renderings and do not represent the finished property.
- The proposed private courtyard is not yet realized; no notable view or distinctive setting is shown.
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 59/100The cluster sits at the foot of the Monti Lessini, with low hills and the first pre-Alpine relief immediately west and north of the plain around Vicenza. The Retrone basin and smaller local streams shape the settled plain and farmland between Sovizzo and Vicenza. Vicenza is the nearest city of size, with a full range of services and the Palladian monuments and city centre inscribed on the UNESCO list. The area is known for the transition from the Vicenza plain to the vineyard and hill country toward Gambellara and the Lessini foothills.
