What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €15,000 for 180 sqm, the ask is only €83/sqm; with a typical 'needs renovation' budget of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €783/sqm. That is well above this low-stock baseline of €296/sqm, but for a large 3-level Veneto farmhouse with 11 photos, terrace, fireplace and panoramic hill setting, the entry price is exceptionally low and plausible for a substantial renovation project rather than a trap.
More on the house and the area
The real wow here is the hillside setting: sweeping green valley views and a quiet borgo location give it genuine dream potential. The house itself is a solid, roofed old home with a fireplace and decent volume, but the interiors are stripped-back and tired rather than move-in ready. At €15k for 180 sqm, it feels charming and potentially rewarding, but it is clearly a renovation project.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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.

The area around
Location score 68/100The cluster lies in the eastern Lessini, with low Prealpine ridges and wooded valleys around San Giovanni Ilarione. The Alpone valley is the main local valley system here, and the area is known for old volcanic terrain and fossil sites around Bolca in the same part of the Lessini. The nearest larger town is San Bonifacio, which has the usual rail and road services on the Verona–Vicenza corridor. Verona is the nearest major city for higher-level services and airport access.
