In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €57,000 (€380/m²), the asking price is already above the local €312/m² benchmark; allowing about €30,000 for ordinary updates brings the effective cost to roughly €580/m². Four bedrooms, heating and a cellar support livability, but the inland location and unstated energy rating limit the value proposition.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable farmhouse rather than a renovation shell, with a functioning kitchen, bathroom, heating, bedrooms, cellar, and a striking old-beam-and-stone attic. Its appeal is mainly authentic rural character and practicality, not spectacular views or polished interiors; the dated finishes and shared courtyard keep it in the charming-but-ordinary range.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Interiors are clearly habitable but very dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- The attic and exposed roof structure show substantial age and should be inspected for moisture and structural condition.
- No private garden, terrace, or notable view is evident; the house sits in a shared village courtyard.
- Only one bathroom is shown for four bedrooms.
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 83/100The southern edge of the Dolomites rises immediately north of Feltre, with the Belluno Prealps and the Massiccio del Grappa close by. The Piave basin and the lower course of the Stizzon run through the area, and Lake Corlo at Arsiè is within this radius. Much of the mountain ground nearby is in the Parco Nazionale delle Dolomiti Bellunesi. The nearest ski lifts are the Monte Avena area above Feltre, a short drive from town. Feltre itself is the main town nearby, with a walled historic centre on a hill and regular services. The Belluno Dolomites are part of the UNESCO Dolomites World Heritage Site. The area is known for mountain pasture, forested slopes and the transition from the Veneto plain to the Dolomite valleys.
