The €40,000 asking price is only €138/m², well below the local €406/m² reference, and the historic-center location is a plus. However, the listing does not say whether the 290 m² house is habitable or renovated; allowing roughly €700/m² for the likely refurbishment brings the effective cost above €800/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a very large, unusually cheap historic-center townhouse with a fireplace, traditional village fabric, multiple rooms, and a small terrace. However, the interiors are heavily dated and neglected, with visible damp, damaged finishes, and no clearly usable kitchen, so it is a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€57,000 – €102,000
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.
- Substantial renovation and deep cleaning are needed throughout, especially floors, ceilings, wall finishes, and the kitchen/bathroom areas.
- Visible damp, staining, and possible mold require investigation before purchase.
- The exterior terrace/canopy and roof structures appear aged and should be checked for safety and watertightness.
- No attractive landscape or mountain view is shown in the gallery.
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 72/100The cluster lies in Val Camonica, with the Bergamo Alps immediately around it and the Concarena and Pizzo Camino groups visible in the valley system. The Oglio river runs down the valley nearby. The area is next to the lower edge of the Adamello Regional Park, and the Massif of Adamello and the upper Val Camonica are part of a wider mountain landscape that begins within this radius. The ski lifts at Montecampione are above Artogne, with access in about 15–20 minutes by road. Darfo Boario Terme is the nearest larger town, with rail access, shops and thermal facilities. Val Camonica is known for its mountain valley landscape and for the prehistoric rock engravings, including the UNESCO World Heritage rock art sites in the valley.
