What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 for 30 m² (€2,333/m²), the asking price is nearly 5× the Lombardia country-house baseline of €474/m²; assuming €700/m² renovation raises the effective cost to about €3,033/m². The remote 2,100 m alpine location and missing condition, legal-use, and accessibility details add substantial uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
A beautifully preserved stone alpine baita in an extraordinary mountain setting, with dramatic glacier and high-valley scenery and strong historic character. The roof and masonry appear solid rather than ruinous, and the listing states one bedroom and one bathroom, but the lack of interior photos leaves livability and utilities uncertain.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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.
- Very remote high-altitude location at approximately 2,100 m, with heavy winter snow.
- The gallery shows only the exterior, so the actual interior finish, utilities, heating, and bathroom condition are unverified.
- Access and year-round usability may be challenging.
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 85/100The cluster is in the Valmalenco, with the Bernina Alps and the Disgrazia group around the valley. The Mallero runs down the valley toward Sondrio. Much of the upper valley lies in the Parco delle Orobie Valtellinesi, and the high ground on the Swiss side connects with the Bernina massif. The Alpe Palù and Caspoggio ski areas are directly above the settlement, with lifts reached in minutes. Sondrio is the nearest town of size, with rail connections, services and the main facilities of the province. The valley is known for alpine scenery, stone villages, summer hiking and winter skiing.
