Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 (€818/m²), the estimated all-in cost is about €1,018/m² after allowing €200/m² for light updating, versus a local comparison level of €765/m². The central, furnished apartment in a tourist mountain resort with elevator and possible garage supports the price, but the listing does not state the condition and the G energy rating is a drawback.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished and clearly usable apartment with a warm alpine-resort feel, multiple sleeping spaces, a working kitchen, and a full bathroom. The extensive pine paneling and traditional furniture create character, but the interiors are dated rather than striking, and the gallery proves no standout view or outdoor space.
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.
- Dated wood paneling, furnishings, and patterned flooring may need cosmetic updating.
- The compact kitchen appears functional but tight.
- No exterior, balcony, garden, or mountain view is shown.
- Energy class G may imply higher running costs.
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 upper Val Brembana in the Bergamo Alps. The Brembo river runs through the valley. The Orobie Bergamasche Regional Park lies nearby on the mountain slopes above the valley. The nearest ski area is San Simone in the upper valley, about 25 minutes by road, with larger lifts at Foppolo and Carona farther up the same valley. San Pellegrino Terme is the nearest town of note down the valley, with its Liberty-era spa buildings, and Bergamo is the main city reached farther south. The area is known for alpine valley settlements, woodland and pasture, and for access to the Orobie trails and passes.
