What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €25,000 for 153 sqm (€163/sqm), this is far below the Lombardia farmhouse baseline of €382/sqm; even assuming a full restore at about €1,100/sqm, the total effective cost is roughly €1,263/sqm, which is still plausible for a large character property. The text calls it a 'rustico' with 'grandi potenzialità' over three levels, which strongly suggests a restoration project rather than a ready home, but the central position and independence support the deal.
More on the house and the area
The wow here is the dramatic alpine village setting: the valley and mountain panorama is genuinely superb, and €25k for 153 sqm creates strong dream-value. But the house itself does not yet read as a beautiful, ready home from the photos—just a plain exterior and a very rough, minimally presented interior. This feels like a scenic project with big potential rather than an immediately lovable place to live.
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€61,000 – €90,000
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.
- Interior condition is barely shown and appears very basic/dark, likely needing major renovation.
- Listing calls it a rustico, so expect project-level updating before comfortable full-time use.
- Mountain village access and parking may be limited.
- Overhead wires intrude on the main panoramic view.
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 74/100The cluster is in the upper Valtellina, with the Rhaetian Alps around it and the valley floor cut by the Adda. Tirano is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, rail links including the Bernina line into Switzerland, and the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Tirano. The Bernina Pass road and the Swiss border are close by, which makes this a transit valley with strong alpine scenery. Aprica is the nearest ski area, about 20 minutes by road, with larger skiing on the Bernina side in Switzerland farther away. The area is known for terraced viticulture on the south-facing Valtellina slopes and for being a gateway between Lombardy and the Engadine.
