In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed price €69,000 for 142 m² plus estimated renovations (€200/m² ≈ €28,400) gives an effective cost of ≈€97,400 or ≈€686/m², well above the regional median of €312/m². The house is habitable, has 49 photos, a garage, cellar and private garden, so it’s usable but clearly overpriced for the Veneto market.
More on the house and the area
A solid, characterful mountain farmhouse with a large rustic kitchen, visible beams, fireplace, private garden and garage — clearly habitable today. Nicely placed in a quiet hillside setting with pleasant views, but the décor, some exterior repairs and the attic conversion need attention.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Dated interior finishes — will need cosmetic updating (kitchen, tiles, decor).
- Upper rooms/attic have low sloping ceilings and limited headroom/windows.
- Exterior and adjoining outbuildings show wear/boarded openings and may need repair.
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 81/100Monte Baldo surrounds the area, with steep pasture and woodland slopes and broad views over the ridge. Lake Garda lies immediately below on the western side of the mountain, with the nearest lakeshore around Malcesine and Brenzone. The Parco Naturale Locale del Monte Baldo covers much of this mountain environment. The Prada-Costabella lifts are the nearest ski lifts, on the Baldo side above San Zeno di Montagna, a short drive away. Malcesine is the nearest town of size on the lake and has the Scaliger castle, ferry connections and the Monte Baldo cable car. The area is known for mountain pasture, chestnut and beech woodland, and for Monte Baldo’s botanical richness.
