What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €28,000 (€350/m²), the headline price is below the €380/m² baseline, but the completely unrestored 80 m² farmhouse implies about €88,000 in renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,450/m². The remote mountain setting, zero listed bathrooms, and missing condition/building data add execution risk.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric old stone farmhouse in an extraordinary forested Alpine valley, with dramatic mountain views and surrounding meadowland. However, it is explicitly a complete renovation project rather than a livable home: the interiors are not shown, there is no bathroom, and the aged structure and roof will need serious work.
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€32,000 – €47,000
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.
- Completely to renovate, with no bathroom and no evidence of a usable kitchen or utilities.
- The old corrugated roof and rough masonry require careful structural and weatherproofing checks.
- Very rural mountain setting may mean difficult access and substantial infrastructure costs.
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 is in the upper Val Camonica with the Adamello Alps around it. The Oglio river runs down the valley. The area is close to the Adamello Regional Park, and the Aprica ski area is the nearest lift system at roughly 15–20 minutes by road from the valley settlements toward the pass. Edolo is the nearest town of some size, with rail terminus, schools, shops and services. Within this stretch of Val Camonica the area is known for alpine valley scenery, high pastures and mountain hamlets; the wider valley is also known for prehistoric rock engravings, with the UNESCO sites concentrated farther down Val Camonica and not in the immediate 15 km surroundings.
