See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €35,000 asking price is attractive at €250/m² versus a local reference of €402/m², but the house needs substantial work. With estimated renovation around €700/m², the effective cost is roughly €950/m²; the sound-looking roof and private courtyard improve the outlook, but the listing does not specify utilities or habitability.
More on the house and the area
This is a large traditional village townhouse with handsome old stonework, timber elements, a private courtyard, and genuinely impressive mountain views. It is not a bare ruin—the roof appears intact and some rooms are furnished and serviced—but the house is very dated and will need significant renovation before becoming a comfortable full-time home.
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€28,000 – €49,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed: damp-stained walls, worn finishes, overgrown courtyard, and dated interiors.
- The property appears usable in parts, but kitchen, bathrooms, heating, utilities, and structural condition need verification.
- Access is through a compact village street, and the adjacent storage building may require permits for conversion or expansion.
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 71/100The cluster is in the upper Astico valley, with the southern edge of the Vicentine Prealps around it and wooded slopes rising close to the built-up area. The Astico river runs through the valley. The Pasubio group is within this radius to the northwest, and the lower slopes and valleys of the Piccole Dolomiti are part of the same mountain setting. The nearest substantial town is Schio, which has a full range of shops, services and rail connections. This part of the province is known for prealpine valleys, woodland, pasture and routes up toward the Pasubio area.
