What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a total renovation: about €1,100/m² works, so the effective cost is roughly €1,850/m² (€75k + ~€110k on 100 m²), far above the already-low stock baseline of €383/m² in Lombardia farmhouses. The description also shows only part of the space is currently residential, with ground and top floors listed as ripostiglio, so usability is weaker than the headline 100 m² suggests.
More on the house and the area
This has some authentic courtyard-house character, with old brick floors and simple historic proportions, but the current reality is much more basic than the polished renderings. Part of it is habitable-looking on the first floor, yet the property as a whole needs a full renovation to become a genuinely attractive live-in home. At the price, it is more a practical project than a dream-house scroll stopper.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- Total renovation is needed; several rooms are still raw storage spaces.
- Some images are AI renderings, so the finished look is not what currently exists.
- Limited visible wow setting: no real view, garden, or notable exterior shown.
- Layout is split across levels with access via a common stairwell.
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 53/100The area sits in the Brianza hill belt between Como and the Milan plain, with built-up towns, wooded patches and cultivated land. Lake Como is nearby, with the southern branches around Como and Lecco roughly within 15 km. The nearest larger town is Como, which has the walled historic centre, the cathedral, rail links and services. This part of Brianza is known for furniture making and small-industry districts rather than for a single protected landscape or isolated rural setting.
