In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 (€302/m²), the home is 26% below the local median, with generous 262 m² of space and about 850 m² of private greenery. However, allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable property brings the effective cost to about €502/m², above the €406 local benchmark.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable mountain townhouse with a spectacular wooded-valley panorama, generous private green space, exposed timber ceilings, traditional floors, and a fireplace. The interiors are clean and usable rather than luxurious, with an older kitchen and bathroom, but the house appears solid and move-in ready. At €79,000, the combination of 262 sqm, outdoor space, character, and views is highly compelling.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 262 sqm, three-bedroom house.
- The kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated and would benefit from modernization.
- The mountain setting may mean limited services, steep access, and seasonal maintenance needs.
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 73/100The cluster sits in the Orobie Bergamasche, in the upper Val Serina, with pre-Alpine ridges and steep wooded slopes around the village. The Serina valley is a branch of the Brembana system, and the Brembo river valley is the main route down toward San Pellegrino Terme and Bergamo. The Parco delle Orobie Bergamasche lies nearby in the surrounding mountains. The nearest substantial skiing is the Brembo Ski area around Foppolo and Carona, roughly an hour by road depending on conditions. Zogno and San Pellegrino Terme are the nearest larger centres in the valley system for everyday services, while Bergamo is the main city reached by road over the passes or down the valley. The area is known for mountain villages, forests, summer walking and the old spa axis of the Brembana valley.
