What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 for 240 sqm, the ask is just €167/sqm; assuming roughly €250/sqm for updates because only the ground floor is said to have been renovated in the late 1990s, the effective cost is about €417/sqm. That is still near the already-low Veneto townhouse baseline of €408/sqm, and for a large central semi-detached house with 23 photos, cellar, terrace and parking, this looks like a strong value buy rather than a trap.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, real village house with a neat exterior and a pleasant mountain-borgo setting, so it has some dream value at the price. But the interior condition is very mixed: the ground floor looks usable, while upper rooms show damp, wear and clear renovation needs. It feels like a genuine home with potential rather than a ready wow property.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€20,000 – €34,000
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.
- Upper floors show significant damp staining and need substantial renovation
- Only one bathroom is shown for a very large house
- Interior charm is limited; finishes are basic and some spaces feel neglected
- No real view or outdoor living space is proven in the photos
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 74/100Monte Grappa and the Belluno Prealps are the landscape here. The Piave valley is nearby, and the western edge of the Feltrino around Feltre is within the local area. The Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park lies close by to the north-west, though the cluster is outside the park. The nearest town of size is Feltre, which has a walled historic centre, services and rail connections. This area is known for mountain slopes, forest, pasture and First World War sites on Monte Grappa.
