What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly a complete restoration: at €49,000 for 200 sqm, the asking price is €245/sqm, but with an estimated €1,100/sqm renovation the effective cost is about €1,345/sqm. That is well above this catalog’s low Lombardia country-house baseline of €538/sqm, but the very low entry price, large size, 34 photos, and central/tranquil setting still make it a strong project rather than a trap.
More on the house and the area
The setting is lovely, with green mountain backdrops, a charming village lane and a very photogenic post-renovation facade. But this is not a ready beautiful home: the real property is currently an older, plain building needing full renovation, and many interior images appear to be design visualizations rather than the existing house. At €49k for 200 sqm it has strong dream potential, but today it is a project rather than a wow-you-can-live-there house.
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€79,000 – €117,000
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.
- Complete renovation required
- Listing photos include staged/rendered interiors, not the current state
- Current house appears dated and plain before works
- Village setting is pretty but not especially private
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 58/100The cluster sits at the mouth of the Valle Imagna and close to the first Bergamasque Prealps, with the Canto Alto and the Albenza ridge in the surrounding relief. The Brembo river runs just west of the built-up area, and the Serio valley system is nearby on the eastern side of Bergamo’s hinterland. The nearest substantial town is Bergamo, which has the Città Alta, major services, rail links and an airport at Orio al Serio farther south. This part of the province is known for the transition from the Bergamo plain to the prealpine valleys, with dense settlement on the lower slopes and valley floors.
