Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 for 45 m², plus an estimated €9,000 for ordinary updating, the effective cost is about €1,978/m²—well above the local comparison level of €765/m². The apartment appears usable and benefits from a lift, terrace and good transport, but the listing does not state its renovation condition or building age.
More on the house and the area
A bright, clean and clearly livable studio with a modern kitchen, renovated bathroom, sunny terrace and pleasant leafy surroundings. The landscaped garden and mature trees add charm, but the property is an ordinary urban apartment with no historic character or proven panoramic view.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
- Compact 45 sqm studio with no separate bedroom.
- Apartment in a larger residential building rather than a distinctive Italian house.
- The attractive greenery appears to be shared landscaping, not private land.
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 55/100Monte Campo dei Fiori and its summit (about 1,226 m) lie immediately to the south of the town; the Parco Regionale Campo dei Fiori covers part of those hills. Lago di Varese is at the town’s northern edge and within the local area. Lago di Monate and Lago di Comabbio lie within roughly 10–15 km to the northwest and west, and the shore of Lake Maggiore is also within about 15 km. The Sacro Monte di Varese (one of the Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy) is on a hillside above the city and is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. The immediate landscape is Pre‑Alpine: hills rising to forested ridges, with agricultural land and built-up areas intermingled within the 15 km radius. The town provides railway and road connections toward Milan; the nearest international airport used for routine travel is Malpensa (around 20–25 km). The area is commonly associated with its lakes, villa culture and the Sacri Monti pilgrimage sites.
