See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €39,000 (€217/m²), the renovation estimate brings the effective cost to about €917/m² for 180 m², well above the €469/m² local comparison level. The house has utilities and a private garden, but it is explicitly described as needing renovation in a remote mountain location.
More on the house and the area
A characterful old mountain house with original furniture, paneled doors, traditional tiled floors and a striking misty mountain setting. It appears to be a substantial, roofed home with private garden and utilities, but the interiors are dated and visibly in need of real renovation rather than simple decoration.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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 is needed, including visibly damaged plaster, aging windows and interiors.
- The home appears usable as a solid existing structure, but it is not move-in ready.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 180 sqm house; kitchen and utility condition should be verified.
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 is in the Val Taleggio, in the Bergamo Prealps. The Enna runs through the valley and the area sits between steep wooded slopes and pasture used for mountain farming. This is the territory of the Taleggio cheese, with alpine pastures, small hamlets and valley roads cut into the rock. San Pellegrino Terme is the nearest town of some size, with services and the Brembana valley road network. Ski lifts are at Piani di Bobbio and Valtorta, roughly 30–40 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. The area is known for caves and ravines such as the Orrido della Val Taleggio and for traditional stone villages in the side valleys.
