The asking price is attractive at €250/m² versus a local reference of about €420/m², with 160 m², four bedrooms, garden and terrace. However, this is an antique house only partly renovated with energy class G; allowing roughly €500/m² for remaining work brings the effective cost to about €750/m², and the listing does not clearly state its current condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, spacious mountain home with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a working kitchen, fireplace, terrace, and a private green area, plus impressive valley and mountain scenery. The arched openings, wooden shutters, tiled floors, and traditional furnishings give it real rural character. It appears livable rather than a renovation shell, though the finishes and exterior need refreshing.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €31,000
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.
- Interiors are functional but dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The old exterior and adjoining rough masonry warrant checks on roof, damp, and structural maintenance.
- Mountain-village access and winter conditions should be verified.
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 71/100The cluster is in the Bergamo Prealps. The Brembo valley is the main river system nearby, and the area sits above the upper Val Brembana. The Orobie Bergamasche Regional Park lies nearby and covers much of the mountain area around this part of the province. The nearest ski lifts are the small stations of San Simone and Foppolo in upper Val Brembana, roughly 40–60 minutes by road depending on the exact lift. San Pellegrino Terme is the nearest town of note in the valley, with Liberty-era spa buildings and the main services of this stretch of the Brembana. The area is known for prealpine mountain scenery, chestnut and beech woods, old mining sites, and the road link over the pass toward Serina and the Seriana side.
