Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €39,000 (€812/m²), this habitable-looking mountain apartment is already above the local comparison level of €673/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for unspecified condition and likely energy upgrades brings the effective cost to about €1,013/m². The balconies and peaceful alpine setting add appeal, but the remote location, energy class G, and limited heating system reduce value.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable mountain apartment with a warm, homely interior, functioning kitchen and bathroom, plus dramatic alpine scenery from the balconies. The Bellino setting is the main draw: peaceful high-mountain surroundings, traditional village buildings and immediate access to nature. At €39,000 it offers strong dream-home appeal, though it is practical and dated rather than polished or luxurious.
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.
- The apartment is compact at 48 sqm and has dated, basic finishes and furnishings.
- Heating is via an autonomous wood-burning stove, which may require regular fuel handling.
- Balconies overlook the road rather than offering a private garden or secluded terrace.
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.
