In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 plus an estimated €22,200 for basic habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €831/m²—more than double the €375/m² local benchmark. The description is extremely sparse and does not state the number of bathrooms, building year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
A solid, lived-in mountain home with generous balconies, a well-kept garden, exposed roof timbers, and dramatic Alpine surroundings. It looks like a genuinely usable residence rather than a renovation shell, though the exterior is more practical than exceptional and the lack of interior photos leaves livability details unconfirmed.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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 gallery shows only exteriors, so the actual interior finish, kitchen, and bathroom condition are not verified.
- The property appears habitable, but the exterior shows an older building with possible maintenance needs.
- Several aerial and panoramic images are explicitly illustrative and do not represent the property or its immediate surroundings.
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 nearest town of some size is Gavardo down the Sabbia valley, while Brescia is the main city for higher-order services. Bagolino is known for its historic mountain-built centre, dairy production including Bagòss cheese, and its long-established carnival tradition.
