Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000, this 56 m² home already costs €1,161/m²; allowing about €400/m² for modernization brings the effective cost near €1,561/m². That is far above the €312/m² level of comparable Veneto listings, with no garage and only a quiet hillside location to offset the price.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable little hillside home with a warm fireplace kitchen, traditional wooden shutters, and a peaceful green setting among the Veneto hills. It is not a design-led or spectacular property, but the house appears solid, furnished, and immediately habitable, with modernization rather than major reconstruction required.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €11,000
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 interiors are clearly dated and need modernization after a 1990s renovation.
- No garage, and the bathroom is windowless.
- The property uses autonomous LPG heating; utility and access details 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 73/100The cluster lies in the Valpolicella hills, with vineyard-covered slopes and low ridges between the Adige valley and the foothills above Lake Garda. Lake Garda is within about 10 km to the west, with the lake shore at Lazise and Garda reachable in a short drive. The Adige runs just east of Sant’Ambrogio, and the valley floor opens toward Verona. Monte Baldo rises across the lake and above the eastern Garda area; the nearest lifts on the Prada-Costabella side above San Zeno di Montagna are roughly 40–50 minutes away, so they do not define the immediate landscape. Verona is the nearest city of size, with major services, rail connections and the Roman Arena. The area is known for Valpolicella wine and for the stone quarries around Sant’Ambrogio and nearby Val d’Adige settlements.
