The €35,000 asking price is very low at €161/m², but the 218 m², five-floor building requires renovation; at an estimated €700/m², the effective cost rises to about €861/m². The substantial land and balconies add value, but this is a remote mountain property and not an immediately habitable bargain.
More on the house and the area
This large stone village house has genuine historic character, balconies, and an exceptional Alpine valley view over a beautiful mountain settlement. However, it is clearly a renovation project rather than a move-in home, with damaged service areas, worn interiors, damp signs, and substantial updating needed.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€43,000 – €76,000
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.
- Extensive renovation is required throughout, including the kitchen and at least one bathroom.
- Interior photos show rubble, damp staining, cracked/aged finishes, and incomplete fixtures.
- The five-floor layout may be challenging for everyday living; roof, utilities, and structural condition need verification.
- No clearly usable garden or outdoor living area is 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 88/100The cluster is in Valmalenco in the Bernina Alps, with alpine slopes and high peaks immediately around the valley. The Mallero valley runs down toward Sondrio. The area is tied to the Valmalenco ski domain above Chiesa in Valmalenco, with lifts around Snow Eagle and Alpe Palù reached in a short drive or from the town side. Sondrio is the nearest town of size, with rail services, shops and provincial services in the Valtellina floor. This part of Valmalenco is known for alpine walking, skiing and stone villages in a high mountain valley.
