In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €68,000, the 281 m² building needs substantial renovation, estimated at about €196,700, bringing the effective cost to roughly €942/m² versus a local reference of €187/m². The listing is in an inland location and does not state the building year or energy class, further weakening the case.
More on the house and the area
A substantial three-storey palazzo in a lush Lombard hillside setting, with landscaped garden areas, balconies, garage space, and a nearby stream. The house appears structurally intact and roofed, but its plain, weathered exterior and renovation status mean it is a large project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
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€56,000 – €99,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The property is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with no interior photos to confirm current livability.
- Visible exterior dampness and weathering suggest possible moisture-related work.
- At 281 sqm, renovation, heating, utilities, and maintenance could be substantial; the stream and steep terrain also warrant 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 68/100The cluster sits on the pre-Alpine slopes between the Valle Imagna and the hills above the Bergamo plain, with broad views toward the Orobie to the north. The Brembo valley is nearby, and the western edge of the Parco dei Colli di Bergamo lies close by around Monte Canto and the wooded ridge system above the city. The nearest substantial town is Bergamo, which has a large historic upper town, full services, rail connections and the airport at Orio al Serio beyond it. This part of the Bergamasque foothills is known for wooded ridges, small mountain villages and walking routes rather than for a single landmark of national rank.
