See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,436/m², the asking price is about 88% above the local median of €765/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for its apparently livable condition brings the effective cost to about €1,636/m². A covered parking space, terrace, central setting and no condominium fees help, but the listing does not state the property condition and the premium is substantial.
More on the house and the area
This is a bright, finished one-bedroom apartment with attractive exposed wooden beams, tiled floors, a balcony, and access to a leafy landscaped setting. It appears genuinely usable, though the kitchen needs to be installed and the outdoor areas are not clearly private; the covered parking and no-condominium-fee arrangement strengthen the value.
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€4,000 – €6,000
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.
- The fitted kitchen appears to be missing, with only connections and a refrigerator visible.
- The attractive garden and parking seem to be shared/common areas rather than a private garden.
- Energy class F and the absence of detailed condition information warrant technical checks.
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 36/100This is flat agricultural country on the edge of the Brescian and Mantuan plain, with fields, drainage canals and scattered farmsteads. The Chiese river runs nearby to the west, and the Oglio is farther east beyond the immediate area. Castiglione delle Stiviere is the nearest larger town with full everyday services, while Desenzano del Garda and Brescia are farther off for rail links and a wider range of shops and hospitals. The wider area is known for mixed farming and for being close to the lower Garda plain, but Lake Garda itself is outside the 15 km landscape around the village.
