What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 (€276/m²), this 250 m² house is completely to renovate; allowing about €1,100/m² puts the estimated all-in cost near €344,000 (€1,376/m²), well above comparable local homes around €351/m². The historic-center location, terrace and lake view add appeal, but the renovation burden is exceptionally high.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric historic farmhouse in a beautiful Lake Endine mountain setting, with old stonework, timber loggias, a courtyard, and memorable lake views. However, the entire 250 sqm house needs renovation, and the photos do not show finished living interiors, so it is a substantial project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream 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€99,000 – €146,000
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.
- Completely requires renovation before it is comfortably habitable.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a large 250 sqm property.
- The property is in a historic village setting, so access, parking, and renovation permissions should be checked.
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 area lies in the Bergamasque Prealps. Lake Endine is in the commune and the upper Val Cavallina runs north-south here. The Oglio valley and Lake Iseo are a short drive west, and the mountains of the Val Seriana and Val di Scalve rise to the north. The nearest ski lifts are the small station at Monte Pora above Castione della Presolana, roughly 35–45 minutes by road, with larger lifts around Colere farther on. Clusone is the nearest substantial town, with a full set of services and a historic centre, and Bergamo is the main city for higher-level services. The wider area is known for prealpine lakes, wooded slopes, and access to the Bergamasque valleys.
