See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €10,000 (€118/m²), the house is far below the local reference, but it needs an integral renovation and has no systems; allowing about €85,000 in works brings the effective cost to roughly €1,118/m². The recently renewed roof helps, but shared access and the extensive work materially reduce the deal quality.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful old village house with weathered masonry, traditional shutters, a handsome wooden entrance, and a recently renewed roof. However, it is an empty renovation project rather than a usable home: the four-level layout has no systems and needs a complete refurbishment, with shared access reducing privacy.
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, €1,000/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €30,000
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.
- Requires a full renovation and has no existing utilities or systems.
- Access and stairs are shared with third parties.
- Interior condition, bathroom usability, and structural status are not shown.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Intelvi area of the pre-Alps, with steep wooded slopes and small valleys between Lake Como and the Swiss border. Lake Como lies close by to the east, with the western branch around Argegno the main water reference for daily life. The valley roads climb quickly toward mountain pastures and ridges such as Monte Generoso on the Swiss side and the local peaks above the Valle Intelvi. The nearest town of size is Como, which provides the main rail links, services and lakeside urban centre for the area. This border zone is known for stone villages, chestnut woods and hiking terrain rather than for a single major monument or protected status within the immediate radius.
