In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking EUR 65,000 for 56 m² (EUR 1,161/m²); with estimated modernisation at EUR 200/m² the effective price is ~EUR 1,361/m² — about 4.4× the Veneto baseline of EUR 312/m², so this is overpriced for the region. The property is habitable, was partly renovated in the 1990s and has 20 photos, but the high price per m² drives the low score.
More on the house and the area
A tidy, habitable semi-detached cottage perched in a quiet hillside hamlet with lovely vineyard/valley views and a characterful brick fireplace. Ready to live in as-is but visibly dated — best for someone wanting a low-cost move-in with light updating rather than a full renovation.
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€4,000 – €6,000
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.
- Small footprint (56 m²) — limited living space
- Dated interior from 1990s; needs modernization
- No garage and little private outdoor space
- Bathroom is windowless (cieco)
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.
