See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 (€175/m²), the house looks cheap, but extensive internal renovation for 200 m² is estimated at about €140,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €875/m²—well above the local €422/m² benchmark. The panoramic Valmalenco setting and 19 photos help, but the four-storey layout and stated renovation needs limit the deal's appeal.
More on the house and the area
A characterful stone mountain house with multiple balconies and exceptional views over the Valmalenco valley and village rooftops. The structure appears roofed and substantial, with existing floors, rooms, and two bathrooms, but the interiors are dated and partly damaged rather than move-in ready. At €35,000, the dramatic setting and 200 m² footprint create strong renovation potential, though this is a serious project.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.
- Substantial internal renovation is needed, including a heavily damaged bathroom and widespread damp/wear.
- The four-storey layout and hillside village setting may make access and renovation logistics difficult.
- Utilities, systems, and roof condition are not clearly documented in the photos.],
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.
