At €286/m², the €80,000 asking price is well below the local benchmark, but allowing about €56,000 for a habitable property brings the effective cost to roughly €486/m², slightly above it. The independent building, garage, garden, terrace, cellar and autonomous heating support the price.
More on the house and the area
A remarkably large independent house for €80,000, with a sunny orange façade, traditional shutters, garden, garage, stone paving and mountain scenery around the village. Inside it is a real, roofed and heated home with good floors, multiple spacious rooms and a functioning bathroom, but the décor is old-fashioned and parts of the kitchen and upper-floor finishes need work. The combination of Alpine setting, usable structure and very low price gives it strong dream-home potential.
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€18,000 – €31,000
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.
- Interiors are habitable but distinctly dated, with substantial cosmetic updating needed.
- The kitchen appears to need cabinetry and appliances installed.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large 280 m² house; some flooring/finishing work also appears incomplete.
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.
