The €32,000 asking price (€218/m²) is below the local €356/m² reference, but this is a complete restoration with no bathroom and only about 73 m² explicitly identified as habitation; the rest is storage, attic space, or a former poultry area. At roughly €1,100/m² for renovation, the estimated all-in cost approaches €194,000, making this a weak deal unless the buyer strongly values the historic-borgo setting and garden.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric 17th-century stone-borgo property, with beautiful rustic masonry, cobbled lanes, a small private garden, and a lovely mountain backdrop. However, the interiors are essentially a renovation project with no bathroom and no usable finished living spaces, so its strong character and very low price do not make it a move-in home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€58,000 – €86,000
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.
- Full renovation required; the interior is not currently habitable.
- There is no bathroom, kitchen, or clearly defined living layout.
- Some roof and structural elements appear unfinished or aged and need professional assessment.
- No immediate parking; the nearest parking is about a two-minute walk away.
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 72/100The cluster is in the Val Brembana, with the Orobie Bergamasche close by on both sides of the valley. The Brembo river runs through the valley here. The Parco delle Orobie Bergamasche lies nearby in the upper valley. The nearest ski area is around Foppolo and Carona, about 45–60 minutes up the valley by road. Bergamo is the nearest city of size, with a full range of services and the historic Città Alta. San Pellegrino Terme is a few kilometres north and is known for its Liberty-era spa buildings and mineral water.
