What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing ("in asta", minimum bid €54,845), which is a veto red flag under the rules regardless of the apparent €457/m² asking level. The text otherwise suggests habitable condition, so I estimate light works at about €200/m², but the auction status dominates the score.
More on the house and the area
This sounds like a real, usable village house rather than a ruin: 120 sqm, heating, double-glazed wood windows, two bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms, and described good maintenance. The old-centre setting and vaulted ground-floor ceiling add some character, but without real house photos there is no evidence of standout views or strong visual beauty. At the auction price, it feels more like a solid bargain home than a true dream-property scroll stopper.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- No actual property photos are shown, so visual appeal is largely unproven.
- The home appears dated rather than freshly renovated.
- Access to the main living floor is via an external stair.
- The 'exclusive court' seems mostly paved and partly functions as the street, so outdoor space is limited.
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 61/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Prealpi Bresciane, in the low hills east of Brescia where quarry-cut limestone ridges meet the edge of the plain. Lake Garda is within this radius at the western end around Salò and the lower Valtenesi shore. The Chiese and Naviglio Grande Bresciano systems are part of the wider plain landscape nearby. Brescia is the nearest city of size, with full services, a large historic centre and Roman remains including the UNESCO site of Santa Giulia and the Capitolium. This area is known for stone quarries, mixed farmland and the transition from plain to the Garda and prealpine hill country.
