What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

This is explicitly an auction listing ("ALL'ASTA"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog regardless of the low asking price. Even before renovation, the €90/m2 ask is not enough to offset the legal/process risk of a judicial sale.
More on the house and the area
The real photos show a large building in a secluded wooded mountain setting, which gives it some atmosphere and strong bargain curiosity at this price. But there is no trustworthy interior documentation of the actual property, and the exterior feels more functional than beautiful, so it reads as a practical project/investment rather than a dream home. The auction format and unclear livability keep the wow firmly in the mid-low range.
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€22,000 – €37,000
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.
- Auction sale with the usual legal/occupancy due diligence needed
- Photos appear mixed with irrelevant stock/interior images, so interior quality is unproven
- Wooded hillside setting may mean tricky access, damp and winter maintenance
- No bathroom photos and actual apartment condition/layout are unclear
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 77/100The cluster is in the Intelvi Valley between Lake Como and Lake Lugano, with the pre-Alps rising immediately around it, including Monte Generoso on the Swiss side and the Sighignola ridge above the valley. Lake Como is reached at Argegno and Lake Lugano at Osteno in roughly 10 to 15 km. The area is close to the Valle Intelvi regional landscape of forest, pasture and scattered villages, and it is known for mountain viewpoints and hiking on the ridge between the two lakes. Como is the nearest city of size, with rail services, motorway access and the main urban services of the province.
