The €65,000 asking price equals €1,066/m², or roughly €1,266/m² after allowing €200/m² for unspecified updates, which is well above the limited local comparison level of €562/m². The attractive two-bedroom layout, private garden and Monte Baldo setting add appeal, but the listing does not state the condition, energy class or required works.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable mountain retreat with a large private garden, woodland surroundings, and striking views toward the Monte Baldo landscape. The home has a functioning kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, tiled floors, exposed timber ceilings, and a cozy wood-burning stove, although the décor is dated and there are signs of localized moisture.
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 – €7,000
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 house is furnished and clearly usable, but the interiors are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Some moisture staining is visible around the upper-floor roof/skylight area; the roof and insulation should be checked.
- The secluded hillside setting may mean limited access and services, which 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 85/100The cluster sits on the Brentonico plateau on the northern slopes of the Monte Baldo massif; Monte Baldo’s ridge (peaks above 2,000 m) is the dominant local mountain feature. Lago di Garda (Lake Garda) lies within roughly 10 km to the south-west, with Riva del Garda the nearest lakeside town. There are local ski runs and lifts serving the Polsa/Brentonico area within the comune; the Malcesine–Monte Baldo cable car is on the lake shore to the south. Rovereto (around 40,000 inhabitants) is the nearest town of size, about 10–15 km to the east, with a mainline train station, hospital and larger shops. The locality is in the Trentino Alps and the surrounding landscape is used for mountain agriculture and forestry and for outdoor recreation (hiking, mountain biking) with access to water sports on Lake Garda.
