See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €896/m², the asking price is already more than double comparable sub-€100k homes at €414/m²; allowing roughly €700/m² for personalization and the G energy rating brings the effective cost to about €1,596/m². The Lake Iseo setting and nearby private garage add value, but the listing does not state the property's condition or renovation scope.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable village home with a working fireplace, fitted kitchen, finished bathroom, bedroom, balcony, and a characterful beamed attic. The mountain-and-valley setting, stone-built surroundings, wood details, and traditional fireplace give it strong Italian charm, although the interiors are more cozy and functional than luxurious and would benefit from cosmetic refreshing.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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.
- Energy class G and likely higher heating costs.
- Some walls and finishes show cosmetic wear or possible damp that should be checked.
- The home is spread over several levels with steep internal stairs; the garage is nearby rather than clearly integrated.
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 81/100Lake Iseo is directly below the village on the Bergamo side, with the western side of Monte Isola within about 15 km across the water. The area is on the foothills above the lake, with the Bergamasque Prealps immediately inland. Parco Locale di Interesse Sovracomunale Alto Sebino lies in this part of the upper lake area. The nearest substantial town is Lovere on the lake, which has a historic centre, lakefront services and road links around the Sebino. The area is known for the lake landscape, olive growing on the milder slopes and mountain hamlets above the water.
