At €10,000 plus an estimated €1,100/m² for a total renovation, the effective cost is about €1,208/m²—far above the local comparison level of €353/m². The property has no systems or bathroom, requires complete restructuring, and its permitted residential or alternative use must be verified; access is also via a shared staircase.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful old village house with a striking weathered façade, blue shutters, arched entrance, cobbled lanes, and a historic covered fountain directly outside. However, it is a €10,000 redevelopment project rather than a livable home: the description confirms five levels, no systems, no bathroom, and a complete renovation is needed.
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€37,000 – €55,000
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.
- Total renovation required, with no utilities and no bathroom.
- Five-level layout with access via a staircase shared with third parties.
- Exterior shows substantial weathering; structural and roof condition are not confirmed.
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.
