At €70,000 plus roughly €50,400 for renovation, the effective cost is about €1,672/m², well above the available local benchmark of €653/m². The garage, balcony and mountain setting add appeal, but the listing does not specify a usable bathroom or key technical details.
More on the house and the area
A wonderfully atmospheric mountain cabin with stone walls, weathered timber, a balcony, and an exceptionally beautiful autumn forest setting. However, the interior is currently an uninhabitable outbuilding or shell rather than a usable home, with no bathroom or finished living accommodation.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€14,000 – €25,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The interiors are unfinished storage spaces with raw floors and walls.
- No bathroom or usable kitchen is shown; substantial renovation and utility installation appear necessary.
- Forest setting may mean difficult access and uncertain water, electricity, and sewage connections.
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 sits in Val di Sole within the Adamello-Presanella mountain area of the central Alps. The Noce river runs through the valley and is a local white-water rafting and kayaking venue. The Adamello Brenta Natural Park covers large parts of the surrounding mountains. Nearest alpine ski lifts serving the Val di Sole area include the Folgarida–Marilleva complex (roughly a 20–30 minute drive) and the Passo Tonale lifts beyond the valley (longer drive). The nearest town of size is Malè (Val di Sole's administrative centre), with shops, services and the local rail link toward Trento. The area is known for mountain sports year-round: skiing, mountain biking and river sports. There is a medieval castle at Caldes (Castello di Caldes) in the locality.
