Listing price €29,000 for 170 m2 with an adjacent "unità collabente" and no clear condition; I estimate €700/m2 to renovate (≈€119,000), giving an effective price ≈€870/m2 vs Veneto median €312/m2, so it's substantially overpriced. The description and AREA figures are inconsistent and key condition data are missing.
More on the house and the area
A very romantic country farmhouse with stone façade, exposed beams and a big traditional fireplace set in open meadow beside woodland. The main house is largely roofed and has usable rooms, but an attached unit and part of the roof are dilapidated and the interiors need substantial renovation and services checks. Excellent low‑price countryside project for someone prepared to do structural and systems work.
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€34,000 – €60,000
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.
- One adjoining unit and part of the roof/stone wall are collapsed or in poor structural condition
- Interior needs significant renovation (plaster damp, finishes, kitchen/bath upgrade, possible wiring/plumbing work)
- Land parcel shown is small and mostly immediate grounds only — check access and utilities
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 is on the Lessinia plateau in the Venetian Prealps. The Parco Naturale Regionale della Lessinia lies in this area. The nearest ski slopes are the small lifts of the Lessinia area around San Giorgio, roughly 20–30 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Verona is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail links and a major historic centre. This part of Lessinia is known for high pasture, woods, stone hamlets and the traditional cimbrian settlements of the Veronese mountains.
