Villa
Dentro le mura storiche di Venzone, casa indipendente bicamere con corte recintata di 350 mq. L'abitazione necessita di ristrutturazione completa e si sviluppa sul piano rialzato dove un comodo ingresso separa la cucina dallo spazioso soggiorno e un disimpegno porta poi alle due grandi camere e al bagno. La soffitta, collegata da una pratica scala interna, è lo spazio perfetto...
What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €342/m², the €63,000 asking price looks low, but a complete renovation at about €1,100/m² adds roughly €202,000, producing an effective cost near €1,440/m². This is far above the weak local baseline of €454/m², despite the historic-center location and enclosed garden.
More on the house and the area
A substantial independent house with a fenced 350 sqm garden, dramatic Alpine mountain scenery, and an appealing position inside Venzone’s historic walls. The roof and structure appear intact, but this is a full-renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home; its 184 sqm size and €63,000 price create strong potential if the renovation costs are manageable.
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€73,000 – €108,000
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.
- The listing states that the house needs complete renovation.
- Interior finishes, kitchen, bathroom condition, utilities, and structural systems are not shown.
- The garden is overgrown and the property is in a dense historic village setting rather than a secluded location.
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 82/100The Julian Prealps and the Carnic Alps frame this part of the Tagliamento valley. The Tagliamento river runs by Venzone, with a broad gravel-bed alpine river landscape that is unusual in Italy. The area is at the edge of the Parco Naturale delle Prealpi Giulie. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Zoncolan and at Sella Nevea, both roughly about an hour’s drive depending on road conditions. Gemona del Friuli is the nearest larger town, with rail services, shops and daily services; Udine is farther south for a fuller range of urban services. Venzone is known for its intact medieval walls and rebuilt historic centre, and it is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia.
