What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 (€818/m²), this 55 m² ancient farmhouse likely needs renovation; with an estimated €700/m², effective cost is about €1,518/m² versus the Veneto farmhouse baseline of €310/m². The sunny panoramic village setting and garden add some value, but the missing condition and technical details make this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
A characterful old stone farmhouse in a sunny hillside hamlet, with genuine valley views, grapevines, garden areas and a wider panoramic landscape. The roof and floors appear present, but the interior is extremely basic and the property looks more like a renovation project than a ready-to-live-in home. At €45,000, the setting and historic fabric create real appeal if the renovation costs are manageable.
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€11,000 – €20,000
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 house appears to need substantial renovation and modernization.
- Interior photography shows a very basic, unfinished-looking stone room with no visible kitchen or finished living spaces.
- Steep paths and uneven access may be difficult for everyday use; utilities and legal status should be verified.
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 72/100Monte Grappa rises immediately north of Bassano del Grappa, with the Venetian Prealps forming the local horizon. The Brenta runs through the town and out into the plain. Bassano del Grappa is a substantial town with a large historic centre, the Ponte degli Alpini, rail links and full daily services. The area is known for grappa production, ceramics and its position at the meeting point of the plain and the Prealpine valleys. The nearest ski areas are on the Asiago plateau and around the Belluno foothills, reached by mountain roads and not part of the immediate 15 km landscape.
