Although the asking price is €65,000 (€406/m²), the property is explicitly described as currently uninhabitable and would require roughly €176,000 in restoration, bringing the effective cost to about €1,506/m² versus comparable local homes around €403/m². The listing does not explain the cause or scope of the uninhabitability, creating substantial renovation risk.
More on the house and the area
This is a spacious early-1900s townhouse with attractive wooden shutters, ivy-covered walls, mature greenery, and original wood floors. However, it is explicitly uninhabitable: the interiors are empty and cluttered, finishes show deterioration, and the home is not presented as move-in ready. It feels more like a substantial renovation project than a dream home you can live in immediately.
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€63,000 – €94,000
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 property is explicitly listed as uninhabitable and requires substantial renovation before occupation.
- Only one bathroom is reported for a large 160 sqm house; the kitchen and functioning utilities are not evident in the gallery.
- Visible damp/peeling plaster, exterior deterioration, overgrown grounds, and extensive clean-out work add practical costs.
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 58/100This is on the upper Venetian plain between Castelfranco Veneto, Cittadella and Bassano del Grappa, with the first foothills of Monte Grappa and the Venetian Prealps visible to the north and reached in roughly 15 km. The Brenta runs to the west around Bassano del Grappa and gives that side of the area a defined river corridor. Castelfranco Veneto is the nearest substantial town, with its walled historic centre and rail links; Bassano del Grappa is also close, with a larger town centre and services. The area is known for irrigated farmland and villas of the Venetian plain, with the Prosecco hills farther away and not part of the immediate landscape.
