More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable mountain retreat with a spectacular wooded Alpine view from the balcony, a fireplace, garden/courtyard space, and a cozy rustic interior. The apartment is furnished and functional rather than beautifully renovated, while the attached former stable and attic areas are unfinished or storage-grade. At €55,000, the combination of usable living space and dramatic scenery gives it strong dream-home appeal.
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€23,000 – €41,000
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 main apartment appears usable but dated, with extensive wood paneling and an older bathroom.
- The ex-stable/fienile and attic/storage areas are rough and intended for storage rather than living space.
- The courtyard is shared, and the listing appears to offer only one bathroom.
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 76/100The cluster is in the Piccole Dolomiti at the head of the Posina valley, with steep prealpine slopes and limestone ridges around Monte Pasubio and Monte Majo. The Posina torrent runs through the valley. The area is tied to the Pasubio massif and its First World War military roads and mountain routes. The nearest substantial town is Schio, which has full services and rail connections. The nearest ski area is the small Recoaro Mille area above Recoaro Terme, roughly a 40-minute drive, with larger Trentino ski areas farther away but outside the local landscape.
