The property is described as a historic building “da ristrutturare”; I estimate heavy restoration at about €1,100/m² → renovation ≈€418k and an effective price ≈€558k (≈€1,468/m²). That is well above the local baseline (~€341/m²) and the available baseline is based on few comparables, so the listing appears overpriced; the listing omits condition/age/energy details.
More on the house and the area
Charming traditional stone building with original beams, wooden balconies and a small yard in a historic village setting — lots of character. However this is a substantial renovation project (roof, floors, interiors and structural timber work) and is not move-in ready.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€150,000 – €222,000
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.
- Major renovation required — visible holes in roof and damaged/missing floors.
- Interior largely stripped, dirty and not habitable; utilities and finishes appear absent.
- Wooden balconies/beams are weathered and likely need structural repair or replacement.
- Property is a historic building so restoration will likely require permits and conservation rules.
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 71/100The cluster is on the eastern side of the Valle di Cembra above the Adige basin, with the Lagorai chain within this radius and the porphyry hills and terraces that characterize this part of Trentino. The Avisio valley is nearby, and Lago delle Piazze and Lago di Serraia on the Piné plateau are within about 15 km. Much of the nearby upland falls in the Parco Naturale Locale del Monte Baldo? No certain protected park status applies here at this radius, but the Altopiano di Piné is the immediate upland setting. The nearest substantial town is Trento, which has the cathedral, Castello del Buonconsiglio, rail services and the main services of the province. This area is known for vineyards on the Cembra slopes, porphyry quarrying, and the lakes and forests of the Piné plateau.
