Price €56,000 plus estimated renovation ~€63,000 (≈€700/m2) gives an effective cost of ≈€119,000 or ≈€1,322/m2, far above the regional baseline of €312/m2, so this is overpriced. Listing also labels the property as a farmhouse while the text describes a terraced portion, which lowers confidence.
More on the house and the area
Solid terraced house with intact floors, radiators and an original wood‑panelled ceiling — immediately usable but tired. Upstairs windows frame a pleasant hillside view and there’s a small private outdoor space, making this an affordable, liveable home after cosmetic and systems updating.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 72/100The cluster sits at the foot of Monte Grappa, with the first prealpine slopes and wooded ridges immediately around Possagno. The Piave valley is nearby to the north-east, and the Brenta valley is within the wider 15 km range to the west. The area is on the edge of the Colli Asolani and the foothill landscape between the Venetian plain and the Belluno pre-Alps. Monte Grappa is a protected area within the Parco Nazionale-like system of the Massiccio del Grappa; the mountain is also known for First World War sites and panoramic roads. The nearest larger town is Bassano del Grappa, which has a full range of services, a railway station, and a substantial historic centre on the Brenta. Asolo is nearby and is a member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. Possagno itself is known for the Tempio Canoviano and for being the birthplace of Antonio Canova.
