At €80,000 for 65 m², plus an estimated €71,500 for a complete renovation, the effective cost is about €2,331/m² versus a €429/m² local comparison level. Its central historic-town position is a positive, but the house has been closed and uninhabited for years, needs major work across three levels, and the description refers to Sarnico while the listing location says Paratico.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful historic-center house with an unusually attractive stone-and-brick façade, arched entrance and vaulted interiors. However, livability is mixed: some rooms have been freshly renovated, while others remain severely dated and deteriorated, making this a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home.
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€26,000 – €38,000
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.
- Full renovation is needed, with visible damp, peeling finishes, damaged ceilings and worn floors.
- The home is currently closed and has been unoccupied for years.
- The three levels are not internally connected; an internal staircase would need to be created.
- No garden or major view is shown, and the shared rear courtyard limits outdoor privacy.
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

The area is known for Franciacorta vineyards and sparkling wine production.
