At €33,750 (€482/m²), the asking price is already above the local €347/m² reference; adding an estimated €14,000 for a habitable property brings the effective cost to about €682/m². The villa has a strong feature package, garage and 29 photos, but the listing does not say the bathroom count, construction year or energy rating.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, compact alpine home with a striking snowy mountain setting, usable kitchen/living spaces, heating, and a distinctive wood-clad exterior. It appears habitable rather than a shell, but the peeling facade, dated interiors, and lack of a clearly documented bathroom keep it well below dream-home territory.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Exterior render is heavily peeling and needs substantial repainting/maintenance.
- The interiors are usable but dated and basic rather than especially attractive.
- Bathroom documentation is limited, and the snowy mountain setting may mean demanding winter access and upkeep.
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.
